It looks like Euphorbia esula - Leafy Spurge but I'm no expert. I'm sure someone will give you a positive ID though.

I would think it is one of the Euphorbia esula aggregate. Leaves look too narrow for E. esula and too broad for E. cyparissias. I would guess either E. x pseudovirgata (fairly frequent) or E. x gayeri (rare) but it is a difficult group! |

Like I say on the photo the nearest garden is 100 yards back up the road - not far in plant terms - as in escaped garen variety.
Its not one I've ever seen before and its a short section of the A6 we don't normally travel on so it might have been there years but I've never come across it elsewhere either and it took my eye even at 50mph!!!!
