It could be evening primrose, looks like a flower spike forming in the centre

If it is EP then weed or choice flower very much depends on your point of view & where it is

I have tjem and love them, as do bees

Thanks Grandad, well I do like evening primrose, and there is a flower bud forming. So I will wait to see it flower … thank you 🙂.

it is only a weed if you don't want it or its in the wrong place.

Yes, I’ve heard that before Eileen! I just wasn’t sure what it was …

It doesn't remind me of EP as I think of their leaves being more shiny but more of one of the willow herbs. leave it to flower then let us know please.

Isn't it too early for EP. I tried to grow from seed once and I don't remember it having such large leaves.

Debs, think you're right about too early for EP, and I now find one of these triffids in my garden, a bit further on than OP, the flower spike is growing upwards rapidly with my camera at the ready for when it opens

Watch this space as they say

I look forward to seeing your photo Grandad!

have you got sweet rocket in he garden? it reminds me of that too.

Yes I do have sweet rocket, but I’ve never seen a variegated form …

I sometimes find a colour break on the leaves.

The flower head (not yet open) is looking very like Hesperis (sweet rocket), so thanks Seaburn for suggesting I leave it. I’ll take another photo when it flowers.

The similar one I have I mentioned has become a foxglove, buds not yet opened but colour is showing
