Could anybody identify it please.

Many thanks
Pete




Looks like Clary Sage to me. A good cultivar is Salvia sclarea
Turkestanica. It could be that.


Ah, the BO plant! I don't think it's S Turkestanica as the flower heads
are more 'crowded' than that. This might be Salvia pratensis?





Yes, it certainly could be S. pratensis, but it still looks to me a lot
like the S.sc. Turkestanica I had in this garden years ago. I'm sure
the BO effect will help the OP in identifying it!
