Looks like a type of echium.

It looks like CUPRESSUS SEMPERVIRENS PYRAMIDALIS (TUSCAN CYPRUS)
Columnar conifer - also known as Tuscan Cyprus.  Beautiful upright conifer excellent as a tree in its own right or grouped for screening.  Hardy easily tolerates all conditions.

I found it here:  http://www.paramountplants.co.uk/trees.html

And thanks Paulines7 for your suggestion too.

Aren't they great!  I grew them one year and planned to save the seeds but they were so vicious I couldn't work out how to get at them.  No need, seeded itself at will all over the garden.  Fab plant, but slightly tender.

I've now been able to read about it (now I know what it is ;D) and I understand  the plant flowers every second year. I do like something a bit different.
