Hollyhocks
There's an app for that! It's called Leafsnap!
Looks like my horehound. It's an odd smelling herb.
No it is a young hollyhock it will get very tall and have flowers
it is lambs ear
I don't know for sure what it is, but I know what it isn't. Not lambs ears, that has pointier leaves. Not Hollyhock, which has smooth leaves, even when young. Horehound would be my best guess.
It is definitely Hollyhock as Pcampbellsculpt said. I have 2 kinds.
The chickens won't eat them, you are correct, but the japanese beetles will and they will eat the leaves in no time. There was tons on this one, I used sevin dust on my purple ones. The seed pods will fall off and come up next year tenfold. I can't get rid of them, they grow anywhere and will take the flower bed over if not thinned out early.
Looks like horehound. I don not blame the chickens for not eating it. I make cough syrup out of mine and it taste awful.
Look up Horehound leaf. It looks just like your picture to me.
Not hollyhawk. Homebound medicinal....
I am sure they do as I left mine in my flower bed all winter. That one came up and I had several more come up in it this year including a pink one. I have some young ones in my flower bed now, so some seed pods already fell off and new plants are starting. That one in the photo is still standing, no flowers, but tons of seed pods and it got almost 7 foot tall, the wind took my pink one down in a severe thunderstorm , but mine do come up year after year.
