What is it

It's like two meters high and growing in the flower pot i use to empty the birds water dish in.

Looks to me as Verbena bonariensis or a similar plant from the verbena family. I only know the Dutch name ijzerhard for sure. Searched on that on Wikipedia and changed language.

Also have it in the front garden. Bee's, hoverflies and butterflies love them.

Looks like a buddleia, but it would be useful to see leaves to be sure

It does not have many leaves really, but they look like this:

edit: But some kind of buddleia seems right i guess, thank you.

Yep, classic buddleia, grows anywhere, obstinate and difficult to get rid of 😁

Not the Verbena bonariensis? I think it looks very much like that one, although i now read they grow 150cm tall, sometimes 180. I just measured mine and my guess was pretty good, its 195cm tall.

I'm inclined towards the Verbena, unless the blooms are developing into the classic buddleia paintbrush shape.
