dead nettle i think
Definetely dead nettle [ lamium ] Some would say weed some flower. If you like it keep it, although can spread a bit!
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
Thanks for the answers. Just did a quick google and I all the the dead nettles seem to have a different structure with the flowers forming at leaf joints or just above the leaves as in the picture above. This one is more like a flower spike forming above all the leaves kind of like a salvia??

Thats the one Dovefromabove. thanks for everyones answers. much appreciated.
I have this in my garden. It comes out from the ancient hedge line(mainly hawthorn),on long underground runners like a white dead nettle. It is perennial. I just keep yanking it out when its finished flowering. The insects like it a lot.
The purple dead nettle is an annual.
which one was it on this family that as kids we picked flowers to suck out the sweetness..
Honeysuckle?
I have a garden variety of this which is very pretty, flowers in June, Stachys Grandiflora.
