With those long spires that was my first thought, too. Not sure that the blooms look quite like a salvia's do, either.

I agree with Veronica. Don't Salvias have square stems?

A Veronica is my guess. It is not a Salvia.

My first thought was
Speedwell (
Veronica
'Sunny Border Blue')

You are very welcome! I'm not really good at comparing photos but that one sure looked exactly like yours!
