    It might be Asarum European.
    Interesting thread.
    My pics below to show Asarum europaeum.
    Not very common.
    Leaves glossy/waxy.

    It looks like Caltha palustris but I don't think that would just 'appear'. Hmmm.


    Sorry...couldn't edit above...Asarum leaf above has smooth leaf edges which rule it out.

     Pics below to show Caltha palustris..common name marsh marigold.
    Edges look a better match.

    Here are some leaf pics. Yes I agree not common pennywort as leaves not fleshy. Not sure but will leave for now.
    I'm not sure about caltha as the soil gets quite dry, though I have been watering more due to the hot weather.

    Thanks.
    New pics rule out Caltha.

    I wonder if it could be something that has arrived in bird food...something from abroad that we are not familiar with.
    In 2023 Do keep us posted with any flowers pics.

    Any chance it might be an Eryngium?

    Many plants vanish over the cold winter months..
    It does not mean they are dead.
    It is maybe just sleeping!
    The roots should have survived.
    It may regrow new leaves again when the weather warms up.

    I didn't check the timing of the original post. I have deleted my contribution.

    It was completely dead. I pulled it out. Interesting if it was eryngium as I did sow seeds which never germinated.
