What is this plant?

[AllGonePeteTong1]

Can anyone recognise this plant? I don't remember planting it up so assume it's a weed! But don't know if it might end up being nice?

Day Lily?

It looks like a big clump of couch grass to me (a weed!)
I often tenderly care for seedlings that turn out to be weeds I’m afraid 🙄😄

I'd say day lilly too, and definitely not couch weed.

Any would be flowers in there?

Definitely no flowers. Does it need digging up? I'm worried it might take over that bed a bit

I would say grass. I have a day lily and the leaves don't flop like that.

Or maybe a sedge?

No the way the leaves are growing doesn’t look like a grass I don’t think. I’d go for something in lily or iris family. But really we need better photos.

The only sedge of that size likely to be in a garden is Carex pendula, and I don’t think it’s that. OP, can you pull up just one shoot and photograph any bulbs, rhizomes etc at the base, and the area where the leaves are shooting?

I ran the picture through my plant ID app.

Flora incognita wouldn't attempt an ID from that photo, which I think makes it more honest than most.

The photo looks like there's some wispy stems... or is that my imagination? It's reminding me of some angel's fishing rod (Dierama igneum ) not yet in bloom I saw recently ... maybe that's a bit optimistic!

Thanks everyone. It looks most like the purple moorgrass to me. There are long wispy stems coming out. I think I'll wait a few weeks and see what happens before digging out!

There are not enough features on that photograph to confirm it is a grass, let alone Purple Moor Grass. This highlights in more than one way the problems with plant apps.

It's pretty though.

A close-up of those stems might (or might not!) be helpful. Presumably they're going to be some sort of flower ... I think they're too thin for any sort of Lily or iris. And they look like they branch out, do any grasses do that?

Plant net says it is Tufted Sedge, Carex elata. I place equal credence on that.

Lots of grasses do that, as do lots of sedges. It may well be Purple Moor Grass - the point is, as you imply, there is not sufficient information in that photo to determine that.

Yes...I think the OP would remember if she'd planted something lovely like the Dierama so highest probability is some sort of grass or sedge. In which case, while it'd be interesting to see the flower which might ID it, don't let it seed!

I’d have that out since it’s in the wrong place (to me) anyway. I might put it in a pot until I got the measure of it with a view to replanting elsewhere but it looks as if it’s one of those which get out of hand, like a crocosmia or similar.
nice as they are in their moment they seem to spend a lot of their time just being green with very few flowers and I like a bit more in my limited space!

Need to see better picture or two including a close up of those tufts, especially since they look like barley on my tablet 😂 Got a bird feeder nearby?

Here are some more photos

Big boy isn’t it!! Honestly I’d at least move it as it’s not going to get any smaller 😀

No idea but I'm still voting for bird seed 😂

It would be interesting to see what the tufts look like in a couple of weeks. I can't see if it's little flower heads or grain/grass seeds. Have to agree with pp, even if it bursts into a being a thing of beauty it is still in the wrong place.
