If it is that, it's worth keeping - it has flowers surrounded by showy orange bracts which last for a long time.
If you haven't got other plans for that area, I'd suggest letting at least some of it grow for another couple of months until it flowers and you get a firm id.

thank you for that, il take better pics tomorrow when its sunny, its a massive garden thats been left to go wild for about 20yrs and its full of brambles, ive cut 3/4 of the garden down with just a bit left to do, but im struggling to dig coz of all the roots that have spread everywhere.
