Hello my mum gave me this plant from her garden, but we don't know it's name.

    It looks like a Delphinium.

    It looks like a delphinium requienii, a biennial. I’ve grown some from seed and they’ve grown huge this year. I might be wrong though.

    We did wonder that, but nice to get it confirmed. Thank you.

    That’s definitely what it is,  you can collect seeds and grow on for flowers in 2023,  you have to look ahead when sowing seeds 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    They do grow into large plants. Here is mine at the back, 2.5m tall.

    I'll definitely bare in mind the height. Thank you.
