Please can you identify this plant from my garden?

Here is another one...This one looks like it's just been left to it's own devices and has grown tall (about 2 ft) without any support and so it flopping forwards. Should it have been kept shorter and if so, when should I cut it down? Is it a flowering plant and if so what will it do and when? Should I allow it to grow tall and is so, support it with a cane? Please can you advise?
Many Thank, Alison

it looks like a penstemon and definitely not a weed. I'd cut it back to about 4-6" and stake it as it grows or use one of those ring supports for it to grow through. flowers will be white/pink/red/lilac/blue and all shades inbetween. some may even be a combination of two colours.
