Weed or plant

I have one or two of these plants in the garden I cant remember if I put them in or if they have just grown on there own?

 

Could be one of three things..... Foxglove, but the leaves would feel soft to the touch, Borridge, which it will give blue/purple flowers soon, or the one that I would say it is comfry, which will give pink flowers, and I think is prickly to the touch

Hope this Helps!

 

Thank you I will wait for flowers and let you know :thku:

 

Erm...., could it be a biannual? Either that or its a late starter.

 

If it's Borage, it should be in flower now (mine is)

 

Isn't Comfrey perrenial? It better had be because I bought some roots of a non-fertile vareity last year.

 

Many thanks to you all I think it is Comfrey I have been told it is very evasive is this true and if it is could I grow it in a container

 

Unless it is boking 14, which is a special hybrid kind, it will happily spread by both profuse self seeding and by its roots. It is very, very deep rooted, which is why it appears in all the organic gardening catalogues, as it brings nutrients up from deep down where most plants can't reach. I've read that to confine its movements you should sink a root barrier down to a depth of about a metre, but in reality I doubt if its an issue. There are some allotments near us where a big patch is growing just outside, presumably for the allotment holders to use for composting. In the last five years or so I haven't noticed the patch getting out of control, although it is steadily expanding.

 

Many thanks clueless
I have another what climber is this in the ID forum, and this morning it has come into flower, So I am hoping someone can tell me what it is, It looks great
