Does anyone know what this. There's a chance I planted it there, there's a chance I didn't. Can not think what on earth I would have put there but it kind of looks familiar... any ideas. Thank you.
I've got loads of VB in the garden and it looks nothing like that so unless something has changed with this one, I don't think it can be. It self seeds everywhere but the leaves are a lot tougher than these and nowhere near as big. I'm wondering more michaelmas daisy type ?
I've got some shasta daisy's round there but the leaves are a lot smoother round the edges, that's all i can think of that somehow they've decided to go frilly this year ? Too wet to go out and look at ones near it.
My first thought was shasta daisies as mine have serrated leaves. I've just checked a photo' of one of mine and the leaf serrations on that are finer and there are lot more of them, but they do look very similar and the one I'm comparing yours with was at an advanced stage of growth.

It looks like Verbena bonariensis to me Peanuts

Funny, I was thinking Verbena hastate, so we may be on the right track.
Hastata not hastate

Haven't bought any of that. i might just have to be patient and wait for it to flower?
Def looks like verbena hastata to me, too
It looks a bit like a dahlia to me.
