What's this?

in a garden across from me there is this massive tall plant. They don't know what it is and I'm intrigued to know! ive attached a photo to put it in prospec the fence is 6 foot and it's really visable above it. Any ideas it has purple flowers and the bees love it.

 Thanks.imageimage

    Echium pininana. May have a go at growing them here for the bees too. image

    I've got one that im growing at the moment It survived its first winter and now hoping it will survive next winter so that I can get it to flower next year!!

    Only takes 2 years to total height.
