If anyone's got the August Gardeners' World magazine handy, can you tell me
what one of the plants is in the pic of Beth Chatto's gravel garden on p34?
It's the one with whorls of pinky-purple, almost dead-nettle looking
flowers (to me anyway) on upright stems - the one beind the orange lilies.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Still not sure. Do monarda flowers go all the way up the stems in stages
with gaps like that though? I thought they had flower heads at the tips.

If you have the patience, this site has a gallery of all the plants
including the gravel garden. It's alphabetical though so a pain to wade
through...

Wonderful! That will be a very useful resource quite apart from this

Thanks Martin.
