Symphytum officinale?

I was thinking perhaps a Mertensia. If the photo was in Alaska, I'd suggest M. paniculata, so if you have a mertensia native to Finland, compare with your friend's plant.

Thanks everyone! I do think that it is Plectranthus. It hasn't flowered yet but if I recall, last season it did have some lavender flowers.

Can you add a photo of the whole plant so we can see the growth pattern? With what is shown, I will suggest blackberry.

Perhaps a Symphytum uplandicum, Russian comfrey.
