I have no idea what this is but its unique & attracts loads of bees & seems to spread very easy. As u can see it creates long stems with white pom-pom flowers.. the leaves are big finger like. It has a soft woody trunk and the roots are shallow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's very similar to Fatsia japonica. Family Araliaceae. Similar to Tetrapanax papyrifer ..

But most don't look quite like this! Some look similar, maybe the leaves vary, the flowers look to fit.
