My neighbour told me this is a weed but I let it grow to see what it might turn into?  Any Ideas,

    That sounds quite a good guess Victoria. I don't grow them but they have those fleshy ribbed leaves and the rosettes do get quite big. image

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Looks like a mullein to me as well http://www.finegardening.com/mullein-verbascum Usually biennial - the most common one has yellow or creamy flowers, but there are pinks and rusts too.  I like them image

    Ah!   I thought the title was a reference to the erstwhile Conservative party leader.....

  • Thanks folks, looks about right, might as well let it grow up then.

    Could be a mullein, I've had salvias that look like that though.
