    I think there are two plants in there.  The lower leaves look like foxglove but not the tall bit in the middle.  That looks more like a crown imperial, a type of lily.

    I'm not convinced it's a foxglive @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool
    @josusa47 it looks like 1 plant, one I didn't plant lol

    Mary370  have you traced the tall one right back to the roots?
    I agree with @josusa47..two plants ....one being foxglove.

    Don't think it can be one plant Mary.  Can you show us a photo of where the tall lilly-like stem emerges from the ground please?

    Definitely one plant.......had a good root around in it

    I think it must be some kind of verbascum.  Some of the cultivated varieties have much smoother leaves than the wild kind and do look like those of foxglove, such as v. nigrum.  Should be identifiable when the flowers appear.

    Good guess, @BobTheGardener !

    Thanks @BobTheGardener........could be a verbascum, although it's way ahead of one's I actually planted.  This plant would have been in a 'failed germination ' pot and thrown into garden, that's why there's only one of it
