This looks alarmingly like the euphorbia with which my ornamentals and I are locked in mortal combat. It spreads like wildfire here in the US Pacific Northwest. The sap is milky and extra sticky, and it’s an eye irritant. It’s kind of cool-looking when it blooms, but I hate it. Hate. It.

This looks like rosemary to me.
Spurge?

Looks like a mole plant: [link](https://victoriananursery.co.uk/Mole-Plant/)
Milkweed?
purple toadflax maybe
Linaria purpurea?
It does look euphorbia-ish, but it won’t have white sap if not.
Not Euphorbia. It’s Purple Toadflax, Linaria purpurea. Very attractive- enjoyed by bees & the pretty caterpillars of the Toadflax Brocade moth.
Purple Toadflax
Remember folks: ENGLAND, UK
You keep suggesting plants that fully do not grow here
Looks more like wood spurge to me. Great for dry shade.
Some extra detail: my garden seems to take a while for water to drain from, often with floors and surfaces staying wet the day after a rain
Which makes me think that any plant requiring DRY SOIL is exceedingly unlikely
