Very intriguing! I have been looking up Beth Chatto's unusual plants and found several varieties of European symphytums which have similarities. Perhaps Grimalkin's is a hybrid?

It is Abraham, Isaac & Jacob ( Trachystemon orientalis). Same family as Symphytum  |

Any signs yet of flowering heads ?
Possibly, it's Brunnera macrophyla, if the leaves are rough/hairy. This is in flower ( Blue ) between April & June ( so coming to an end, now) - but apparantly has a 2nd flush in autumn.
This species' former name is Anchusa myosotidiflora. ( the flowers are similar to Forget-me-not & the specie name give us the clue to that )
Update:- Ignore the above, now I 've noticed Dorts Post #6 & seen the 3rd photograph !

It does appear to be quite widely naturalised in the UK, unlike my suggestion which isn't and seems to be hardly grown here at all. | | | |
