Any ideas what this could be? I can't remember planting it.
It could be an Eryngium (Sea Holly). They self seed in my garden
Looks like an Eryngium to me too.
I have sea hollies in my garden, the leaves are nothing like this and the flowers are more like blue thistles, you got me stumped but it's not a sea holly ( I am looking at the purple-flowered,smooth-leaved plant? )
The purple flowers are tulips - you can see the leaves peeking out from under the other plant.
The plant in question looks like one of the eryngiums to me - many of them have heart-shaped or oval basal leaves e.g. eryngium alpinum.
Guess we will have to wait and see, there is an eryngium about two feet away from this one but that has spiky foliage.
There are dozens of eryngiums, that does look like one of them. and tulips
Least I have learned some eryngiumesque lessons today, thanks!
