Thalictrums do grow tall - not seen one as tall as that though, but its hard to be sure of the scale of your photo. But their leaves are more like maidenhair fern leaves.

well the leaves are definitely not thalictrum. I was thinking perhaps a Verbena but not sure. there appear to be flower buds forming so we will have to wait and see.

Mmm…. Will have to wait like you said until it flowers…..

think its verbena ive got one once it flowers you wil know

Thank you.

Update; found the label. it's a Althaea Cannabina, or a palm leaf marsh mallow.

That's brilliant news. I was still wondering what it was. Glad you remembered.
