How hardy are Echium pinnata?

A couple have plonked themselves in my garden and I have no idea where they
came from. Last 8 years nothing worse than ms 08 but in the 70s and 80-'s ms
15 was normal.

How very interesting. Just let them go and perhaps fleece them this winter?
They grow in Tresco like weeds but we have mixed results here and I think
that is to do with drainage more than cold. Just my guess, BTW.
