Popped up in a couple of weeks. Garden glove for scale!! Thanks.

Looks like foxgloves to me although my first thought was primrose

Thanks. I agree the veined leaf does look like a primrose but isn’t it a bit late for one to appear?

I’d say foxglove. Primroses are a bit more rounded at the ends of leaves, I think.

I think primrose

I think it's too late for primrose - mine were up at least a month ago and have now finished and are dying back

Thank you. We live backing onto woods so foxglove is possible. But the ones we have are massive compared to this little thing. My primroses are massive and a different shaped leaf.

I’m going to leave it alone and see what happens - it’s all an experiment I guess!

Borage

Wrong shape for primrose and late
salvia ?

Lemon verbena?

What do the crushed leaves smell like?

Its probably a first year self seeded foxglove - as they are biennials they only produce leaves in the first year and flower in the second. This is why the leaves are small.

???

Definitely not Lemon Verbena. Or primrose.

I think one of the plants has flowers forming there at the top which makes me thing Borage. Foxglove leaves are smoother.

Verbascum?

Primula? Hollyhock?

It looks like a primula/primrose but mine have all flowered and gone by now.

Turns out I meant lemon balm.

Definitely not primrose (leaves not all in a single rosette, and the wrong shape), foxglove (too wrinkly) or borage. Think @Wallywobbles is nearest as I think it’s in the mint family, although not lemon balm. Does it have any sort of smell? Is the stem round or square?

Another vote for borage from me.
