Can you help identify this plant ?
I saw this growing in Finnerty gardens Victoria BC (temperate climate). Looks as if it would be spectacular in flower. Any idea what it is ?

You can contact the gardens direct and tell them where you saw the plant - they should be able to help you http://www.uvic.ca/finnerty/
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Sorry pansyface - I mis-clicked for the pic. Re-sent version 2. Thanks for the suggestion Dovefromabove. If ever you are in that part of the world, it's a beautifully peaceful garden. Almost secret.
It does look lovely.

errr!! wot version2?
At present, v 2 is 8th in the list of Plant threads.
I found it eventually 2nd place on the Plant list so I don't know why it didn't come up here. Not seen that plant before
