Identify garden flower
By Tonyy
glamorgan,
United Kingdom 
last year it came from nowhere, over 4ft tall nearer 5 ft at present and still growing, leaves not unlike foxglove in texture,growing to over 12 inches long at base, they grow with a half twist. Single stemed, mine has small yellow flowers, grouped together like a holly hock, this year has spread to four main stems, any ideas please ???

A native mullein has woolly leaves, so that makes it sound like verbascum nigra.

I think these are terrific. I have two in my garden and each year I wonder if they're going to be taller than the year before. Verbascum, either chaixii or nigrum, but as you have four main stems rather than branches, I would think it's Verbascum chaixii.
