Several plant IDs
I went on a recent visit to Parham house & gardens last week, and saw some lovely plants - some of which the bees were going crazy for. Can anyone help ID these plants - if any of them are suitable I would love to try and grow them in my own garden.. (PS please excuse the quality of some of these - only had my phone camera to hand). Thank you!
Cheery red plant, which was growing in loads of the borders:

The same one, but from a different border:

The top one is French marigold, Disco Red.
The second one could be Mexican sunflower (Tithonia) with Californian poppies at the bottom of the picture,

Thank you - especially for naming the red plant, which was a real favourite. I've only come across the more fussy types of French Marigold before.
If anyone can name the orange plant in the bottom two photos especially, I would be really grateful!
Think it is probably Cosmos Polidor, an annual readily available to grow from seed.
The mauve one could be either Nepeta or Salvia, both look similar and have loads of varieties and I don't know them all
Thank you!
Bottom one is Salvia verticalata, I think.

It is Cosmos. I have grown these for the first time this year. They need to be kept very warm as seedlings, but once they get going they're very easy.
I don't think you mean the bottom one is Cosmos Posy.

No, sorry, I meant "the Orange one in the last two photos " that Anna particularly wished to identify and I was agreeing with Buttercupdays.
