Thanks - I thought knautia but I think it's a bit floppy. Already over run with Carex so don't need more grass
Here are a couple of pictures. The biggest space is now behind the largest Salvia so it needs to be above it. A 'Full stop' is the best way I can describe what I need. Alliums are lovely but it needs to counteract the deep salvia but stand up in it's own right.
Looked at that Dahlia Honka - quirky so have ordered some - it's not too late is it - Also ordered a coreopsis 'Limerick dream' for behind the larger salvia.
The tall effect should be from my struggling Dierama 'Blackbird', Verdun, to drape itself over the fountain/bird bath

There are lots of jewel-like dahlias. What about zinnias?
I thought they were too short! And they prefer some shade!
Just thought of something else having looked at the A - Z thread. Would Knautia Macedonica be any good or is it too bushy. Very easy to grow.

It is a lot less interesting now.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I have noted them down and will now start the search.
to see which fits the best
