Every year these grow back and I have no idea what they are or will be. The previous owners planted vegetables in this planter but what is it ?

  1. You must have already made up your mind but those look pretty and are obviously successful there. Personally i’d cultivate them to fill out that space.

    Sadly I don’t know what they are.

    Don’t know the name but they are a garden killer. They eventually take over if you don’t weed them out. I usually dig them up by roots. If it too much use a safe weed killer.

  3. I believe that is purple foxglove. Digitalis purpurea. To remove it you gotta pull the entire root, and do so preferably before it goes to seed. Very soon. At least that’s what it looks like to me at first glance.

    Comfrey. Extremely beneficial for soil and pollinators and herbal medicine. Beautiful robust plant.

    That looks like comfrey, which can be used as a medicinal herb.

    remove ALL the roots and do a thick layer of news paper and put fresh soil and plant other stuff…

    People pay $$ for divisions of comfrey roots! Look into it, you could make a tidy little sum selling them.
