One of my favourites is Hidcote. It’s quite compact and the flowers are a lovely rich purple.

Extremely floriferous, flowers last ages and ages, great perfume and the bees love it. I just clip it back once at the end of the summer and after several years it’s still a nice sticky mound and not at all leggy.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
