    Crazybeelady.  Thanks that would fit for A.
    Now try to name B

    Could B maybe be a gaura?

    I agree with crazybeelady, A looks like Achillea. B could be a penstemon

    Achillea, and the other could be several things. Asters and Penstemons both look like that. 
    If you get it planted, you'll find out next year when it flowers. If you're in a colder area, an  Aster will survive, but a Penstemon may not... ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thanks All
    I think B is about to flower so if it does I will see if I can find out or send a picture.

    I agree with @Fairygirl, that's looking like an aster to me and also agree on achillea @Crazybeelady 😁

    Looks like one of the many types of dianthus. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
