What's this hairy plant?

Looks like foxglove to me too. You need a flower spike to be definite.

Agree with VC as usual, (surely it must get boring being right....?!) think it looks very foxglovey.

When I recently took on my scond plot at the lottie, there were 2 plants that had quite attractive slightly furry leaves, didn't really know what they were, but they were in the wrong place according to my plans. So I dug them up and re-planted them at the front 2 corners of my fruit cage, fed them and they've both thrown up 2 foot flower stalks that are clearly foxgloves.

Very much look like the photo.

I'll never get bored of being right all the time, Vince Just wish people wouldn't argue with me - they're always wrong

Doesn't look like comfrey to me (and I have 100 plants )


Looks very much like foxglove. Mine have just come into flower this week

I would say foxglove too. They are bi-annual so you may not get a flower spike until next year.

I was going to say Digitalis/Foxglove. Couldn't tell from the little pics, but the big one looks just like it.

Ancee, where are these photos you promised us?
No need to go out in your pyjjies to take them, honest

here's the one I think is comfrey and another one of hairy mc clarey! X

There is a raspberry bush in front of it by the way

[Two_Sheds]

yes, that's a comfrey. Even tho your photos are too small to see properly, it has the classic bell shaped flowers.

The soft hairy one is definitely foxglove
