Anyone know what this plant is?

I was in garden centre a few days ago, I saw this most BEAUTIFUL plant, bit like a yucca in shape, but instead of the leaves, it had a fabulous blue flowery spike, about 3 or 4 coming off a centre stem a bit like a candlabra, it was called something beginning with E and I cant find it anywhere. It was very expensive, £25 a plant, and I would like to try growing it from bulb or seed or whatever it is.

Anyone know what this plant is?
A picture is always nicer but the only things I can think of that have blue spikes are russian sage,delphiniums,veronica,salvia and lupine -good luck!
Reply:LOL its not a hemp plant is it???
Reply:It sounds like it could be a bromeliad (bromellia balansae family) ..........FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
