I got this from a neighbour a few years back and it has finally flowered. Can anyone tell me what it is? Neighbour doesn't remember!
Thanks

Could you post a clearer picture of the flowers? Are the stems square?

Could be Lobelia siphilitica, but the leaves don't quite look right.

Maybe Salvia. But I'm NOT sure about the leaves.
