Went to Sissinghurst yesterday- beautiful and totally lived up to its reputation. Saw these 2 plants looking spectacular, but what are they?

    Is the campanula a Lactiflora?  1st one is a Clary sage, looks lovely when planted en masse.

    No, it stinks😀
    Endsleigh had a lovely display a few years ago.  You couldn’t hear yourself for bees, they’re were  hundreds on it.
