Default Unknown bulb / plant identification

First post! Hello everybody!

Since buying a new house in October, I'm currently working through
the overgrown / uncared for garden discovering all sorts.

However, I've been unable to identify this one, which has shot up
over the past month...

I believe it's grown up from a bulb / tuber, but not entirely sure.
Currently (in photo) about 25cms but growing reasonably quickly. Is
planted within a raised herb border including rosemary, sage (i
think), thyme, lavender, so perhaps it's complimentary to these
(albeit this is obviously not a shrub)?

Any help to identify would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation!

Best regards,

Tom

Hello,
this could be horse-radish.


I don't think so, horseraddish has broader leaves and a less erect habit.
Sorry I don't know what it is though.
