I am looking for one of the larger cultivars that will grow to over 100cm with pink/purple large flowers please. Can someone recommend one for me please?

    I know September Charm isn’t supposed to get that tall, but it does in this garden … it’s at least 1m tall this year …. but it is a well established clump

    Pamina would probably be suitable, but the height is largely determined by your conditions and climate, as with any perennial. It's quite a strong pink.
    I wouldn't say any are really purple though. Dark pink at the most  :)

    Our Hadspen Abundnace is very dark - probably the nearest to purple I’ve seen from any of the varieties although still pink to my eyes. But she is quite small, RHS says 0,5-1.m

    I agree that conditions play a significant part.
    I don't know the name of mine, but these are both the same variety.
    One gets to about 4ft that's west facing and gets a lot of sun-


    Directly opposite (east facing) are these which get to 6-7ft
