Help with identification
Hello, Can anyone help me identify this plant?
I've grown it from seed from a friend's garden. There are four simple leaves per node - whorled I think it's called. The leaves don't have any markings. The plant grows to about 50 cm and the purple flower heads are long and rocket-like. Similar to Veronicastrum and Salvia - the leaves are most probably wrong for either of these plants. Thanks.

Linaria purpurea ?
difficult without a sense of scale.
I thought it might be that too, fidget.

I think you've cracked it, thank you. The leaves match!
Used to self- seed freely in pathways and cracks in wall mortar in a previous garden. Bees liked it.
