I have an overgrown bank under trees and bushes; apart from bluebells

goosegrass, ivy etc that I try and keep under control. I now have this
thing - it's thigh-high with long red hairy stems and big leaves (about
hand-sized). I'm hoping it's not ground-elder gone triffid-size. Can
anyone identify it please? Thanks.

Thanks Stewart. Looks as if it might be good for insects then.
