    It reminds me of my giant yellow scabious. I believe it's correct name is cephalaria gigantea but have a look at images online and see what you thinkimage

    Thanks Victoria Sponge!  I think your right, I've no idea where it came from as I didn't buy it!

    Mine self seeds so maybe a neighbour has some or a bird has left a present in passing.    I love it.

    They get very big at the base so you might want to move it to a more spacious location or else move its immediate neighbours which may get swamped.  .

    I love the unopened flowerheads. If you manage to save any seed I and I'm sure many others would be interested.
