I kind of looks like one of the Campanulas although I'm not sure that any of them are fuzzy. But there are many different kinds. Just a VERY unintelligent guess!

Looks like a mullien to me---verbascum. May get taller then send up a flower spike at top. Once it flowers, you may be able to narrow down the specific type a bit more.

I vote for Matthiola, stock. The flower should be fragrant and most likely pastel when it arrives. Do you live where it's hot right now, or still kind of cool? A verbascum would be sending out a flower in warmer weather, whereas a stock would be in cooler weather. Also, a verbascum is a bienniel and stock is an annual; therefore, you would have seen prostrate leaves for the verbascum last year and the stock would have just shown up from seed this year.

I am here in Alabama so yes it is hot! The plant belongs to a friend of mine and he considered it a weed and has since cut it down which angered me since I was trying to research it for him. I will never know if it was to produce a flower.

looked to me like it was the wild flower version of primrose.......should have had yellow flowers and gets tall........reseeds itself.....so just as well he yanked it.......

It really looks like a mullen plant.
