Campanula replacement

So sad times but think next year my Campanula Lodden Anna has to go. Flowers like mad but refuses to stay upright, I’m guessing due to soil conditions, so looks a mess the rest of the time. 
It’s a step embankment, well sheltered but clay soil (I’m trying to slowly improve) and South west facing so gets hot! 
Looking for something to add a little structure (it’s all perennials and grasses) current thinking is Euphorbia Fireglow but not sure it will like the soil. 

Ps. If anyones in Bristol and wants the Campanula let me know

    @Wrigs21 Doesn't Campanula Lodden Anna always fall over? That is my first thought. Maybe Nandinia Domestica Firepower.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Mine certainly does, always saw it standing in pictures! 
    Thanks for the suggestion, might not be quite tall enough though

    It has always needed staking here.
