    I was wondering if it was a giant campanula, but none of the photos I can find quite match. Any ideas??

    Hi @Gem ,

    Definitely a Campanula . Haven't got time now but I'll try and have a closer look later.

      Thank you! Slightly different picture attached. It's pushing six foot in height, and four foot wide.

      :hate-shocked: :hate-shocked:. Are you pleased or dismayed? They are good for pollinators I read.

      Pleased! It is a beautiful structural plant. It is in an area with quite a lot of different ornamental grasses, plus an ornamental thistle. None of which I have identified yet...
