      It looks like campion, probably red campion, Silene dioica because it's in a shady place.

      I like it and it's well behaved here but it can be invasive if it loves your conditions, although it's easily pulled up. There are white flowered species of silene as well that are similar.

          Several things have leaves like that, I thought it may be Digitalis lutea bit I think it's campion too. The right time of year for it to be coming up to flower. You'll soon find out!

              Leaf veins not a match to Hesperis Matrionalis...common name dames rocket. Pic 1.

              Silene dioica leaves are a better match...Pic 2.
              Flowers would really help.
              id from just leaves can be hard.
