This has popped up in the back garden & not sure what it is? I bought some mixed perennials so thought part of that batch but thanks to critters the tags have disappeared. It was tiny last year but morphed into a monster but I think I've seen something similar growing on the odd verge along the lanes.
It looks tatty as the winter leaves are dying & being replaced, but the flowers are developing. The leaves look like they should be fluffy & soft but they are not in the slightest fluffy. The flowers started a bit thistle like but now a bit more daisy or something.
Appreciate your wisdom in advance as usual! X
What is this please?

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

what you have there is Ragwort, it is a British native but is considered a noxious weed. if you have one now, and you let it seed, there will be lots next year..... Here is a link to explain a bit more about it.
