I've got two of these plants which I assumed were marigolds initially, but they've grown much taller, so tall and heavy in fact I've had to stake it already.

There's a bulb on it that's green and looks spiky, will affix photo here...

 it's in the centre of the photo. I'm flummoxed as to what it may be! No doubt it'll be obvious as I grew nothing particularly rare or interesting from seed!

    Could it be a knapweed? image

    Leaves are wrong! I'm flummoxed! Suppose I'll wait and see until it blooms

    I think Mark499 may be right. It looks like a verbena to me too.

    I've googled and I've not seen any that have any leaves even remotely resembling marigolds... In other news my dahlias have grown bulbs! Pretty chuffed with that. I'm not too bad at this growing from seed malarkey.. If only the labels would stay put!

    I think it is a weed - are the leaves pungent?

    There the wooden lolly stick type ones but the ink washes off them. I didn't bother with labels for the marigolds and dahlias.



    Leaves aren't pungent nope. Ive got two of them as well. Both roughly the same height.
