Foxgloves, not a doubt at all! That one will produce several flower spikes
Definitely a foxglove and as Bob says, it's going to be a bit of a good one. Leave it where it is ('cos it'll have a big root) and enjoy

Thanks guys I really love this
I've never grown them before ,now I have one thanks to the garden fairy (shame its right at the front,but it can stay where it is .)
I am trying to grow some from seeds I got from GW and they have been in for about 6 weeks and still only the size of a pinhead.
live in hope.
When your foxglove has finished flowering and the seedcases are beginning to split open cut it down very carefully and swoosh it over your flowerbeds, scattering the seeds around. Next year you'll have a garden full of foxgloves for free

Thanks Charlie that's settled in the greenhouse they will go
