Maximum width 1,75m / 6'

The beautiful Lavender shrubby looking thing is called Russian Sage:
Russian Sage is extremely valuable for its long season of bloom in the summer garden. Plant forms a bushy upright clump of greyish leaves that are lacy and fragrant. Spikes of rich violet-blue flowers appear in high summer, continuing into late fall. An extremely versatile garden plant, Russian Sage loves hot, sunny sites and will fit right into the perennial border, also good to use among shrubs, and even in containers or tubs. Attractive to butterflies. Prune in spring to no lower than 6 inches. Selected as Perennial Plant of the Year in 1995.

The Purple Bells are called: Digitalis 'Camelot Lavender'
Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Lavender'
Common name : Camelot Foxglove
This is a new and unique selection of Foxglove, bearing tall spikes of soft lavender-mauve bells, each spotted inside with maroon purple. Unlike other types, 'Camelot' Foxgloves flower in both the first and second year before eventually setting seed and dying. Deadhead first-year blooms to encourage overwintering. These perform best in a rich, moist soil. Allow plants to form seed in the second year and they may self-sow to produce future generations. New seedlings that appear can be easily moved in their first season, while still small. Plants may need to be staked. CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.
