A friend gave this plant to my Mum, but neither of them know what it is. Can anyone shed some light?

Really guessing here but has some resemblance to Pachystachyus, something I have not seen for years

Is it Phlomis?

thank you both - I've googled pictures and it does look like phlomis. Mum will be pleased to have a name for it finally.
