Foxglove?

Hi I need an Id on this plant which has been growing in the pot. Not sure if I've planted it. I think it might be a foxglove but doesn't seem to match exactly. It's growing next to phacelia.

    Looks like a foxglove to me (what I can see of it 😉). 
    They do vary a bit
    in appearance ... they’re a bit promiscuous 😆

    Definitely not a Foxglove. Can I suggest a much closer picture of the flower and in focus, and you will certainly get a result.

    Ok so some more pics. Yes it really doesn't look like foxglove flowers.

    Right ... I couldn’t see the flower ... I couldn’t even see that there was one ... no not a foxglove. I thought that was part of the phacelia 🙄 morning 

    Looks a bit like Hesperis matronalis

    No worries dove. My fault for not putting up better pics. Hmm well Its not one I planted. It looks like that plant but I'll let it keep going for now. Hope the bumbles like it.
