Looks like a teasel to me. They get very big and make a fine
architectural plant in the right place. Somewhat spiky and good for
autumnal cut flower arrangers. Prolific seeders beware.

I'd grub that one out ASAP (careful with the irritant euphorbia sap)

Chances are it is tough as old boots if you want to move it. They self
seed rather well if given half a chance - wild bird like the prolific
seed heads.

Martin Brown

Thanks everyone, it would fit being a teasel, its coming out and the
goldfinchs will have to rely on the feeders.

as you can see, it will dwarf the euphorbia. The garden is very new and raw
and quite small. In our old house we would have kept it.
It would be wonderful for the goldfinches in winter, but alas.

We had them come in the veg patch in the old garden. Left some in,
Bleedin' things seed madly we had hundreds of seedlings all over the veg
beds.

I'd only have them again in an area where the seeds wouldn't be a
problem

Talking of things it's better not to know (or ask about). I was
pottering among me pots today and found a plant labelled mellitis
melissophyllum, just starting to make some interesting leaves. I must
have bought it last year but couldn't remember what on earth it was or
looked like, so I checked in google. Where I find it's real name is
******* Balm :-0

Janet.

Janet you have brought a smile to myself and that's saying something at
this time in the morning :-)) Thankyou!

******* Balm is no more invasive than that Bloody Cranesbill and both are
less harmful than that Creep Jenny or the drunken old sod, Tumbling Ted.
******* cabbage wishes to be remembered along with a plethora of other
nicely named relatives but censorship has prevailed
