Interesting - very different leaf from the other hogweed, isn't it? Much
shinier.

Call it dedication but I have just inspected, by torchlight, one of the
two
Heracleums growing here. I had never noticed that some of the stems are
almost completely red.
The rest of the stems are a blotchy red with paler bits. The leaf is the
right shape etc . The picture shows the plant in bright sunlight which
might
account for the brighter/shinier look.
You are welcome to a cutting:-)
I'm very tempted! I've only ever seen it once - a wonderful stately plant,
but I don't think I have space for it.

Yes you do :~)
Right down the bottom of the garden. It does not mind shade..........
