This is into its third, possibly 4th year in very poor dry soil. Garden plant, I put it there but all my records have gone. No smell, not a herby one and obviously perennial or monocarpic. About 9inches across the leaf. I should recognise the name if anyone suggests it. Not Cow-Parsley or Hemlock, I'm familiar with thosev

    could be pd, do some of them have crinkly leaves like that?
    I don't think I would have put an Angelica there but I do toss pots of compost there when I've pricked out enough seedlings

    Please can you add new pics as it grows bigger.
    How tall does it grow?
    What are the flowers like?
    Don't think it is Angelica ... looks to dainty.

    Myrrhis odorata ..sweet cicely, is early into leaf...but don't think leaves match

    Thanks SS, no flowers yet but leaves last year to about 18inches, looks as though it could be quite large. Not Sweet Cicely, plenty of that here though not seen yet this year.

    Feverfew? 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I'd go and look at my Pimpinella major rosea if it wasn't chucking it down at the moment - can't remember how the foliage compares...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thanks Liri but less bright green and crinkly I think

    It reminds me of something I used to grow as a herb, a type of chervil, anthriscus crispum. But you said it’s not herby, so not sure…

    thanks @pitter-patter but no smell at all except general leafy smell
