Right, here goes...it's a wild plant, IE it grows anywhere, although it's
not everywhere!
it resembles dock in size and leaf shape except the leaves are darker green,
almost bluish and hairy and more pointed.
A clump of it would easily be about 14 inches across and high....I don't
want to know for any particular reason, I just keep seeing it and don't know
what it is, googling for hairy leaves gets nowhere

It'll be a lot easier to identify if you can ask again when it is in
flower! Meanwhile, as a starter, try burdock and tell us how it
differs from that ;-)


If it's burdock he should have noticed the flowers and fruits.

I was overlooking horse-radish as a dock of some description until I had
someone identify it for me from a photo - once you know where to look in
a flora ...

There's quite a few types of dock, including one with a blueish cast to
the leaves. Again, if it's this he should have noticed the dock-like
flowers and fruits.
