    The feathery stuff must be fennel jbol. The purple is a salvia, possibly  xsylvestris 'Mainacht' but maybesomething more recently introduced as it's chelsea. Looks like a euphorbia in the back left. Can't think of the name of the grass but someone will know.

    Looks like Gardener's Garters to me but may be a newer variety.  Invasive.

    I wondered about that obelixx but thought it would be too ordinary for chelsea

    ?? Arundo donax variegata.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
