It is called Bear's Breeches. This perennial came to southwestern Ontario, Canada, from southern Europe, from countries around the Mediterranean like Italy and Turkey. It has incredibly large, spiky leaves at the base. I thought the leaves would discourage rabbits. No. They love it, or at least have in the past. This year it has been given a reprieve. It towers almost three feet into the air and sports oodles of wonderful, purple flowers.
