I'd tell anyone that asks that it's woad and that you are an Honorary Member of the Society of Ancient Britons. (Apologies to anyone out there who may in fact be an Honorary Member of the Society of Ancient Britons.)
Apophthegm - a big word for a small thought. If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
I think Bizzie Lizzie may be right, but now am not sure what to do, if I pull it out it'll leave a big gap in the flowerbed, no sign of flowering yet so maybe hang fire for this week-end.
Thanks for all you efforts.

Not "Monch", I have that. Plant is shorter, not so upright, fatter leaves.
I agree - not like my "Monch" which has much broader elliptical leaves.
