It’s a Salvia, possible “Peter Vidgeon”. It’s a shrubby one, you treat it like a lavender, by pruning down by two thirds once it’s safe from frosts. This seems drastic but if you don’t do it each year it will go all woody and they don’t come back from old wood very well if at all. By doing this you will get a lot of growth and many flowers. Dead head regularly to keep it flowering well. DO NOT be tempted to chop it back at the end of the year it won’t like it. Warm sunny spot feed and water well
