Hi fellow gardeners, is this a weed? It's leaves are about 10inches long at the mo, and it has long roots. Many thanks, Del
Could be foxgloves #plantid
Thanks for the quick reply, I had wondered but when I looked at my Dad's foxolove leaves it looked different. I was just looking at comfrey leaves, quite similar too
@houseofflowers
Hopefully others will respond to the #plantid soon x
I would say #foxglove aswell 💚😊
Thanks @anges , I'll take another pic 2moro as it is in a bed under red robins, along with a host of weeds, and there are quite a lot of them.
If there's a lot of them it probably is Foxgloves that have self seeded 😊👍 but post a photo to be sure.
I thought foxglove to start with, but the more I look at it the more unsure I am, sorry I'm no help am I 🤣
Just happened to be at a nature reserve type place (Warley Place) where some volunteers were working, and spotted the same plant but with some small blue flowers. The head gardener told me itsis a nuisance called Green Alkanet, long tap root. YEP! That's definitely it, all out now.thanks fellow gardeneers!
Ok, thanks for all the replies. Here is a leaf from the 'weed', next to a foxglove in a tub, it is hairier than the smoothish foxglove. What do you reckon now?
I think I still say foxglove 😀 see what others say aswell #plantid
Comfrey perhaps🤔
