  Reply | Contact Hmm! This has been a tough one. Obviously in Lamiaceae... but which one???? It is very distinctive with the small flowers in tiers. Quite beautiful. I too thought of Nepeta, Agastache, Stachys etc etc. Nothing was quite right. The leaves did not fit etc. However, I  hope/ believe that  I have found it ....Salvia verticillata Purple Rain. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=Salvia+verticillata+Purple+Rain&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1536&bih=776&tbm=isch&tbnid=1QmYKn-pGb4qNM:&imgrefurl=http://www.paghat.com/salvia-purplerain.html&docid=sHwQSdj2qJbRVM&imgurl=http://www.paghat.com/images/salvia-purple-rain-june.jpg&w=244&h=350&ei=_gsRUOCeCami0QXkx4HgBg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=325&vpy=384&dur=178&hovh=269&hovw=187&tx=101&ty=113&sig=105050878957448920657&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=109&start=0&ndsp=35&ved=1t:429,r:18,s:0,i:129
