Hi just found this at the back of the border - can anyone advise what it could be, if you brush the leaf it has quite a strong scent...

It looks like a foxglove to me. I'm sure others will confirm one way or the other shortly. x
Hi Peanuts3 it has a waxy feel to the leaf, think foxgloves have a furry texture?
Not foxglove. I can't recall what it is , but someone else will.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
There are some foxgloves which don't have the furry leaves - Digitalis lutea for instance ... it does look very foxglove-like ... the flower will soon be out ... that'll tell us

Ah many thanks Dove and Peanut3 - will post a photo when it flowers
I'm interested in the scented leaves. I don't know any foxglove that has those.
