The clematis flowers in early June with bigger flowers. It repeats in late summer.
Another upright salvia that I like is Wine and Roses. I can’t comment on the hardiness yet as it’s in its first year. I don’t have a better photo unfortunately.
What I see from my back door. Haven't cut the kniphofia back as I quite like the shepherd's crook effect. The apples are on a young tree planted last autumn. Just eating the windfalls at the moment - lovely!
