It’s a larkspur ( delphinium ), and I’m pretty sure it’s either a perennial, or a self-seeding annual.

We thought delphinium (I named it that—just tossing a flower name out there. Oh I’m so brilliant) haha.. but everyone said the leaves were wrong for a delphinium and so we said “unknown”.

Larkspur. Cool. Now we can sleep at night.
I didn’t plant them there this year .. I had thrown some perennial seeds in the ground last fall (and then of course hoed out most of it because I don’t know a weed from a flower). These were tucked in amongst some “known” plants and thus survived.

Thanks for your help everyone!
