@Biker, l saw it years ago on an episode of "Beechgrove" in a garden that George visited. I contacted them to ask what it was ! I think it can get quite large but because l have a "pan" about 18 inches down it seems to be containing it. It's supposed to get to 8 feet, but l reckon mine is around 6 feet tall. It really does lift the spirits
Lovely to see so many of your borders still looking great. Mine are beginning to look a bit tired now, with heleniums, crocosmia, kniphofia, agastache, echinacea etc., pretty much over, but salvias and dahlias still going strong:

Freshly opened cobaea flower.
An unusual meeting of Californian poppies and wallflower.
Photobombing scabious. I think I need some of those spiral stakes.
Another beautiful colour from a penstemon grown from seed.
