It has all the shapings of a species lily, but I wouldn't bet the house on it. They'll grow inside and out.

for my money it could be a hebe, euphorbia or butterfly bush - there, that's narrowed the options for you!

I have a very similar looking plant in my front garden, which I call weed. Pull them up every year, they are there every year.

I agree, they pretty much resemble a hebe sort of thing. :) Mine have got a whitish streak in the middle of leaves. :)

It spurge...or milkweed. When it  sets seed they are classed as pseudo capers :)

isn't that a type of euphorbia?

if it is a euphorbia you need to take care with the sap, it can cause blisters and is poisonous. we have spurge growing wild in hedgregrows here and it is nasty

Best way is to simply dig one up and have a look at the root. If it's a bulb, then it's a lily. It's not a butterfly bush as I've just come in from moving mine and the leaves aren't the same. No form of willow grows like that either.
