      The second picture is of Liberty......this will grow at least double size it is now. A real eye catcher in mid summer :smile:

              Hiya Mark
              Helenium El Dorado with Black Adder seemed popular last summer.......this combination lasted all summer well into autumn. Might be my favourite :) also with hydrangea pan Limelight (not green bet white flowers) elsewhere. I have several plantings of Black Adder......another with Taxus Standishii and pittosporum Tom Thumb and artemisia powys castle. Also backing Wild Swan and in front of another helenium (Amber) . Also trying it with salvia bulleyana blue lips.....lovely plant :smile: I also had it with sanguisorba Red Thunder last year and that worked well.
              Another agastache I like, quite similar but more pale blue Mark, is Summer Sky. Not as tall but more "bushy"
              I will post pictures
