Hi have been leaving this to see what it does. But just appears to be growing larger with no flower. Now four foot tall. Any ideas what it is?

Looks like Arctium sp...common name Burdock.

Maybe Arctium lappa...Greater burdock.

Definitely looks like a burdock to me too.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
