      Yes I think Ziggy has it! It's Nigella also known as Love-in-a-mist.

          Hi Kaz
          It looks like Cosmos to me. - I have been known to be wrong before though!

          I think Aconite (monkshood;wolfsbane) too, pretty, they spread, they keep coming back BUT they're poisonous. Mine are right at the back in the corner of a border with prickly plants in front so there's little chance of anyone reaching over to pick them.

          They do look different.

          Apologies for the pic quality. It's lashing it down today.

          If you wait, very soon you will have flowers.
          If you are still unsure do add a pic to this thread.
          Keep us posted of your findings.

          I have lots of love in a mist coming in my garden & although very similar they do not look quite like that..

          I have to agree with SS it is probably aconitum as they also have blue flowers, but usually a flower spike not a single blue flower at the end like love in a mist..
