Believe it is a Ornamental thistle - Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum' but you can check this out on the gardeners world web page:

I loved it when I saw it at Chelsea this year and bought one when I saw it at Gardening Scotland 2 weeks later.

Thanks Anne it lasts for ages, all gone over now but is well worth the space in the garden.
