Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me identify this plant? My Dad says he thinks it has a blue flower but can’t remember its name. Many thanks!

    It looks like a daylily, but they don't have blue flowers.

    Agapanthus?

    I'd go for agapanthus, too.

    Update on the mystery plant!

    It’s got flowers coming through. They don’t look like agapanthus?!
    Anyone able to shed any light?
    thanks!

    Well! Not agapanthus, then. Keep us posted.

    Looks like a gentiana - possibly gentiana dahurica

    Yes tradescantia ... love it ever since I first inherited a clump in a new garden in Suffolk. 

    Now we have the glorious golden leaved form 'Sweet Kate' ... just waiting for her to come into flower.  Named for another Suffolk gardener  ;) John Tradescant
