Plant identification

Hogroast2Hogroast2 Posts: 55

Can anyone tell me what this thing that looks like a giant buddleja is? A couple of years ago I noticed it when it was what looked like a small palm about 60cm high. It's now over 3 metres tall. The flower cone you see is itself about 150cm. Can anyone identify it please?

    The ones at Arley Hall have made it through this mild winter. There were also loads of them growing at Ness gardens

    Thank you so much - that was fast! I'm in London, and it seemed to appear from nowhere.

    I am so envious! I love all the echiums. Have not tried to grow one yet. Still a novice.
