It looks rather like Jupiter's Beard aka Red Valerian. Centranthus
ruber.
Without leaf closeup as Cheryl says, it is difficult to say for sure,
but the
foliage looks almost right from what I can see.


I second this ID.

You will want to keep the old flowers deadheaded as it can produce
a profusion of seedlings.
It's a great plant to attract Butterflies!
