It's about 7-8 inches tall. Can't think what it can be, or even if it's something I've planted... 
The photos aren't great quality, sorry.

Sorry to be an Anorak, but I think it is Penstemon heterophyllus "Blue Bedder' also known as the Foothills Penstemon.
I propogate Penstemons as part of my job and that does look like one of the 150 varieties, though the leaves don't look right?
If not, then Salvia patens "Cambridge Blue"Last edited by digthatchick; 14-07-2009, 07:08 PM.Comment

It looks just like my blue Salvia that I bought at the village show on Saturday.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I think Fummery is on the right track - it must be a Salvia.Comment

Thanks all. Can't think how it got there (nothing to do with my plantaholic tendencies, I'm sure
) but I'm happy that it is!

I've go this in the garden, and it's scutellaria scordiifolia, known as skull cap.
It is extremely pretty, but can become a bit of a thug if left to its own devices.
If you dig a bit up, it has small curly ?rhizomes.

P.S. change of plan. Taken a close up view of the pictures, and decided they are not much like my suggestion.
I would go along with a salvia, otherwise - dunno.

Is it Salvia patens? Mine looked just like that, but sadly it died over quite a harsh winter.

I will have to mollycoddle it a bit then - it's a very intense shade of blue and will be great if it gets a bit bigger - it's a bit lost among larger plants at the moment, but I daren't risk moving it. I grew Salvia Patens 'Cambridge Blue' (I think it's called) from seed a few years ago but they didn't make it through the winter. Ta for the ID

It looks like sage that my nan used to have all over the place. It self seeded everywhere and was treated like a weed mostly and yanked out ... unless we were having a chicken roast
