I've got this thing growing in my garden and I'm not sure what it is.  I'm wary it could be toxic as it looks similar to Giant Hogweed but there are some distinct differences that make me doubt this possibility.  Can anyone shed some light?  It currently stands at about 6ft. in height. Maybe Common Hogweed?

    Many thanks to you both for suck a quick response.  We are now looking forward to finding out what colour this is going to be.

    Love them. My first school was a little two roomed flint building in a tiny village in the middle of Suffolk  .., it had hollyhocks growing against the walls all around it and in the playground.  Happy days 😊
