I agree with @Seathru that it looks like a Canna lily. It's going to be gorgeous.

Looks like a canna of some sort. But probably depends on your location. Maybe had an old bulb in the soil that was assumed dead. I've had it happen.

Consensus seems to point to canna, and the pictures online look just like it. Thank you and everyone else who responded. They're gonna move it to their greenhouse so the PNW winter doesn't kill it.

They are surprisingly hardy. I'm in 6b and they survive being planted out in the yard.

I should have mentioned we're just off the coast in the PNW.

PNW is short for Pacific Northwest.
