Hello pickle61. I don't know the answer, but I did a screengrab in case anyone else recognises it.
A bit fuzzy but the leaves and flowers look very salvia-like to me
Possibly SALVIA x sylvestris Schneehügel
and as we all know, bees love a good salvia!

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Another possibility could be Stachys officinalis Wisley White.
Could it be Mignonette ?
My money is on the white Salvia too.
That looks like the one!

We might never know Pete8 unless pickle gets back to us.
hello peeps. thank you so much for all your help! checked the salvia out on rhs site and that's definitely it! I've ordered some already! I like the look of the stachys too tho' so I just might have to purchase a little pot or two of that as well. goodness knows where it's going to go; MORE pots on the patio?
Good for you pickle.
I hope they live up to your expectations and are smothered with bees
