I will very rarely be looking at the bed from any other angle than the one from which I took the pic.
I've left the gravel border around it so that I can cut the hedge and have pots up against the fence.
I'll be mainly looking at it from the kitchen window and the dining room french doors or when sitting on the decking; all of which are of a similar angle to the pic.
Giant Scabious - Cephalaria gigantea - gets enormous. It would overwhelm that bed, I think. It's a gorgeous plant, though, but it does need space to breathe.
Scabiosa ochroleuca is a great alternative; it's more manageable and also flowers for a lot longer. Ceph. g. has too much 'down time' when it's not flowering to earn a space in a smallish prominent bed, IMO; although I also love it! The Scabiosa goes on and on flowering, building a haze of tiny pale yellow pompoms on wire-like stems, that become attractive little button seedheads.

Yes I thought so too @zugenie I'm growing Ammi Majus from seed too but that's an annual. I love the lanes around me at the moment as they are lined with cow parsley and look a frothy delight.
