I have just uploaded a close up picture of one of the mystery plants. They
are all over 2 feet tall and still growing, having started growing last
summer and overwintered at about 4 inches tall.

Take a look at.

Probably Great Mullein, Verbascum thapsus. The decurrent (lower parts
fused to the stem) leaves distinguish this species from most other
species of the genus.
