@Wrigs21 It would seem that gardeners often start with Sanguisorba Tanna. It can get crowded out and you will loose it. There are so many taller ones that are amazing. I grew S Cangshan Cranberry in my old garden where it made 6ft. Another tall one that I love is S Tenuifolia Alba, a stand out plant in a mixed border. There are other that are shorter. The maroon Sanguisorbas would work with dark blue Agapanthus or the blue salvia mentioned by @Loxley Monarda Gardenview Scarlet is less prone to mildew.
Thank you. Yes, into my third year with this gardening business and learning at times the hard way! I guess that’s all part of the journey. Looking at shorter plants as due to location and soil the taller ones get quite ‘leggy’ and flop. So will check out the Maroon options. I don’t have time to get down there as often as I should so try and plant perennials so can leave them to it bar some weeding and a yearly chop
Just to add Solidago Fireworks is nothing like the invasive form of Golden Rod. The flower colour is the same but it is shorter with a totally different more delicate leaf. It can wander a little but is also tolerant of some shade. Sometimes it is good not to just dismiss a plant until you can work out how it can add to the plants you already grow. It looks good with late daisy shaped flowers and also grasses.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
