Eupatorium (Eutrochium) are great plants. Eupatorium dubium 'Baby Joe' can fit in smaller gardens but is still an imposing plant, with a long season of interest. The dark stems look handsome even before the flower buds have opened, and then the flowers last from high summer well into autumn, and become attractive winter skeletons. This is definitely in my top tier.
I have just potted up a bare root of this plant from Farmer Gracy, so it's good to read this @Loxley. The wild one grows by the stream but it's a bit of a monster, so I opted for 'Baby Joe' for the border. Great pics.
For any lovers of white schemes, a couple of Daz whites! Cerastium Tomentosum which I prefer for it's silver foliage & Filipendula Vulgaris together in what was a rockery back in 2018 and now my new rose bed.
...just missing a few white roses @owd potter .. I love white gardens actually..
@pitter-patter ..beautiful Echinaceas.. that Butterfly Kisses rather looks like a large Astrantia doesn't it... they seem to have got busy with variety in this group of plants..
@Marlorena I have introduced both of these in my new rose bed as underplanting for my white, off white and pale tones roses. I am also working on another project in another part of the garden to create a courtyard space which will also be white. Photos to follow on both counts...
Cheat plant but this is Camassia Heavenly Blue Crocosmia George Davidson & Lucifer just going over with coreopsis zagerb
Delephinium no name grown from seed .
Sadly the only picture of Digitalis Gigantea with Eupatorium Purple bush . I do have some D.Parviflora seeds to try this year , also tried Digitalis Stewartii which is supposed to be one of the tallest varieties unfortunately they got swamp out.
Echinacea Magnus
Eryngium Nepture's Gold - Echinops Tianschanicus background its a monster plant with tennis ball size flowers , I dug it up last autumn and need to rehome it somewhere .
And to start to start G's off - Geranium Dragon Heart - shame it doesn't flower as long as they say.

Filipendula in a rocky? 😱 😱 😱 My estimation of the plant is entirely wrong, then. I thought it was a semi-bog plant. I also see that what I thought was a filipendula trying to come through is another type plant entirely. The filipendula leaves are similar to common valerian and I might have pulled it out by mistake. Blast. Yours looks wonderful. Hows long does it flower? @owd potter
