Can anyone identify what this is? It's really strong and sturdy.

;D ;D ;D
is it an iris ?
LOL, thank you Neil:)
I don't think it is an Iris, the leaves are very long and thin and have flopped over but the main stalk feels really solid.
Thanks macmac.
probably have to wait till it flowers, theres a hundred plants with leaves like that.
have you tried turning the label round so we can read it ;D
LOL macmac the label says Dahlia and I know it's not that.
A friend suggested agapanthus but couldn't imagine what I'd be doing with them.
pampas grass?
I'm not sure I'm a pampas grass person and I can't imagine me putting it in a pot when I've got a lottie to plant it on. Also I seem to have quite a few of these in different pots about the patio.
Thanks though for the suggestion Bugloss
neither am I. I thought it had just "appeared" in your pot ;)
Very hard to say but it could be one of the Allium family, maybe Purple Sensation this early? It's not Agapanthus tho'.

As I seem to have so many of them Bugloss I think I might have planted something ;D
Thanks for that Georgie.
Kniphofia???

They look like self-seeded Spanish bluebells to me - I've been pulling them out all over my garden! I could be wrong, though :).
Tricia
cornish palm?
I agree with Hector, Kniphofia (Red hot poker).
