First post! Hello everybody!

Since buying a new house in October, I'm currently working through the
overgrown
/ uncared for garden discovering all sorts.

However, I've been unable to identify this one, which has shot up over
the past
month...

I believe it's grown up from a bulb / tuber, but not entirely sure.
Currently
(in photo) about 25cms but growing reasonably quickly. Is
planted within a
raised herb border including rosemary, sage (i think),
thyme, lavender, so
perhaps it's complimentary to these (albeit this is
obviously not a shrub)?

Any help to identify would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation!

Best regards,

Tom

this could be horse-radish.

I don't think so, horseraddish has broader leaves and a less erect habit.
Sorry I don't know what it is though.

It certainly doesn't look anything like my horseradish.  And I too have no
idea other than it doesn't look like any horseradish I've ever seen.

My horseradish has leaves like those at the moment. By the summer
they'll be
bigger and broader like sorrel.
