Pete,
It looks very much like the hybrid 'Angelica' and the flower spike
length you cite seems to back this up. Its a lovely thing which I
grew quite a few years ago with great success in a cold greenhouse.
I've not been able to find a pic of 'Angelica' so I couldn't check,
but I should add that when in full flower the flower spikes are about
6 or 700mm long. With luck it should be flowering again in about 6
weeks to 2 months, though if we get more warm weather it could be
sooner, it seems to stop developing when it gets below about 6 or 8C
and they're talking about cold and snow again later this week:-(

A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Still don't know where you are growing it outside :-))
Regards
Roger.
