I get foxgloves self sown with leaves like that - and comfrey (also self sown! >:() that looks like that.The roots are very different though, foxgloves have a shallow, fibrous, mass of roots and the comfrey a tap root.

Comfrey leaves would be rough to feel, I think......

Foxglove leaves are soft

 was going to say foxgloves but daren't go against the experts! Yes, the bees have had a field day with ours too - I'm letting them self sow wherever they like for next year (and the year after of course).
My husband's a water sign, I'm an earth sign, together we make mud :-)
