Would someone kindly identify this weed/plant for me.

It is about 18" tall, has leaves very similar to those of a foxglove

and
at first sight it could easily be mistaken for a foxglove. Its

flowers
are almost identical to those of a Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue'.

It has woody roots which are fairly deep and clump forming and is

very
invasive, particularly by self seeding.

Thanks,
Emrys Davies.


All I'm getting is a pic of Lithodora Heavenly Blue, Emrys.

That is all I intended you to receive with that link so that you have
some idea of what the flowers of the mystery plant are like.


Which link? There were several available pics there so I wonder how anyone
is to know which to go to?
