I did wonder about the foxgloves last night, but it was late and I was tired (an hour ahead here in France) and I have some perennial ones with narrow leaves. But they are wallflowers. In the later pic with 2 trays foxgloves are on the right, as has been said. In back of left hand tray is a weed, but I expect you realised that.

Re - not labelling. We've all done it matt so don't worry
well I have anyway....
They do look like sphaerocaphalon. Mine were up early last year although a bit later than this I think. They'll be fine. They get quite tall so you might need to stake them if you don't have other planting round them for support. I had Verbena bonariensis for them to grow amongst.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks for all the help guys, it's much appreciated! I'm waiting for my corrnflowers to die back so that I can justify digging them up as that's where I want to put the wallflowers. They are still flowering well though. It's balmy here in the midlands, still around 18 in the day and no signs of getting cooler. I'll be in shorts at Christmas at this rate!

I should think you're right re which alliums they are.
I have some alliums in leaf, can't remember which they are, neither of yours
I'd get the foxgloves out of those cells are either in the ground or larger pots. Those should flower next year
There speaks one who has Digitalis ferruginea thoroughly pot bound in 2 litre pots and still not planted out

I've planted some little wallflowers outside only this afternoon
I'm also terrible at labeling stuff
I label plants with initial letters then can't remember what they stand for
