Is this verbascum?

Saw this last year in the garden and it was flat and really pretty but no flower....its now growing with some height. Was looking up verbascum (for another plant I thought was verbascum) and thought it looked like this? Any ideas?

 

Wouldn't like to say, its nothing like the white felt like Verbascum that self seeds around here.

I got a feeling it might be something from bird feed.

 

Lol it's not like the "thing that grew from birdseed" last year.

 

There are some non-woolly species too but the leaves don't look like that. It'll be interesting to see what develops, though

 

Lovely Chaixii @shiney. I grew it once and collected the seed which did nowt when I sowed it the following year. I bought another plant to try again and it legged up so maybe it doesn't like here. The woolly version on the other hand is all but a pest here and makes appearances all over the place

 

@shiney that's a lot of Chaixii. Maybe you will be selling them at you wonderful open day this weekend? I also spy tonnes of Lychnis. I now think I know why I had no luck Chaixii. I grow Lychnis but it doesn't do too well here, as maybe a bit too much winter wet and can rot off. The 2 seem to enjoy the same conditions judging by your photo so maybe Chaixii likes it pretty dry over the winter too?

 

Some lovely verbascum there @shiney. I guess i'll have to wait and see what this turns out to be?!?

 

Evening Primrose?

 

Last year it was completely flat....was a pretty circular pattern of leaves but never grew tall. Is that the same for evening primrose?
