Can anyone ID this plant ? It's come from nowhere and is growing very fast clearly not a weed but I haven't a clue what it is 🤣

    What?  Where? 🧐

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

    Teenage mutant ninja Hosta!

    @BobTheGardener yes it looks like I've gained a good plant from somewhere 👍

    Lovely plant and no slug/snail damage. Brilliant.

    5 years from seed to that sort of size, apparently!  I wonder if you've just assumed it was a hosta in previous years and has only been noticed because it has decided to reach for the sky?

    But you have a good sense of humour @Wilderbeast :D

    Perhaps it came in with another plant. Makes a change from getting willow herb or that r*ddy geum! :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
