It looks to me like Ecium pininana, in its first year. Where are you?
It is not hardy in most parts of UK.

The problem looks like scorch from recent hot sun.

Echiums like sun - the ones in Tresco grow wild all over the island, very
exposed to sun, salt, fresh air and only the water nature sends them. I
wonder if it's E. piniana or one of the shrubby ones - whose names I can't
remember at the moment, E. candicans and E. fastuosum, I think!
Its location would be interesting. Perhaps it has some scorch from watering
it in hot sunshine or just too much water, generally?
