i think it sheds leave around this time.. dont give up on it, it may bounce back.. if its in a pot you might have to bring it indoors in autumn though, inshallah it will grow back

This plant has appeared in the garden. No idea what it is. The flowers have opened up a bit more now but theyre still hanging down like bells. The long green spiky leaves are the same at the bottom of the plant too and the thick stem grows up from in between them.
Anyone know what its called?
