Hi, can some ID this plant for me please

Shropshire, United Kingdom

Hi, can someone ID this plant for me please. I was going to ask last year about this plant last year but by the time I got around to it, it had been mostly eaten by something. It's a couple of foot tall and have seen one in a pub garden that was massive. As the summer goes on the leave look more grey then in the photo. Any help will be greatfully received as I am now down to only a few plants left in my garden that need identifying :-). Thank you

Yes that's my thought too Derek.

Thank you both, just looked it up and I would say that was it. Something really munched away at it last year so never saw it flower. Have started putting slug pellets down so hopefully it will do better this year.
