    First one look like one of the willow herb family and the second picture looks like a foxglove

      Great Willowherb to be more specific, I think. Agree with Perki on the foxglove. Not a comfrey, compare the edges of the leaves. :)

        Thanks @Perki and @Nikolaos both look right, should have picked up on the foxglove, just hoping it's not wild (although I'll keep it if it is) I know I had some lanta cafe cream seeds but cant remember exactly what I did with them, would be awesome if it was them.

          Just had a closer look, I can count five plants in two pots, just like to ask if I can leave them there to overwinter, I know they should flower next year.
