I took these photos about a month ago. Flowering is over now but can anyone please ID these plants?

    @fidgetbones @AnniD thank you, yes I have just looked it up online and that is definitely it. Good to be able to put a name to it, I really like it.

    Can be a bit of a thug in a flowerbed, self seeds everywhere, looks like an ideal position you've got there.

    I’ve got these but after flowering, the clumps of leaves topple over from soil level (hard to describe).  Is this usual ?  What can I do to stop it ?

    thanks

    Can't say l've heard of this before @ERICS MUM. Any chance of a photo? 
    I know they need deadheading otherwise they set seed everywhere but l don't know if the leaves collapse if this isn't done due to the weight of the plant.

    The seed pods make the plant very top heavy so need to be dead headed to stop them them flopping over and to stop self seeding as already mentioned. The leaves on mine are fine, I am assuming they just die back and re emerge next year but I am not really sure.
