  It would help if the flowers were in focus.
  

  Possibly one of the perennial lobelias, like Hadspen purple.  or Lobelia x  gerardii

  Any chance of a photo of the flowers?

  I think Figetbones got it right. It looks like a Lobelia on the second lot of photos, but I think this one might be Lobelia Siphilitica, Blue Cardinal Flower.
