Just wonderin, am I right in thinking this is a foxglove emerging amongst the grass?
The leaves are soft and fuzzy if that helps... it looks similar to one I've bought recently but those leaves are not fuzzy Which is throwing me.
Thanks in advance

Is there any smell to those leaves?

Are the leaves smelly? It looks like that creepy smelly thing that runs all over my garden. Name escapes me.
Stachys sylvatica, Hedge Woundwort?

Just been out sniffing my plants! Yes it's pretty smelly. If it's not worth keeping it will meet my brush cutter when I set about clearing that side of the garden!!
It will regrow from rather invasive roots tom. But, on the plus side, the bees will love the flowers.

Yeah, it will be dug out, the brush cutter is just the first stage! I'm clearing an overgrown garden front to back. I've just googled and it's pretty in bloom but if it's invasive I don't want it taking over.
