The purple one is lysimachia Beaujolais atropurpureum. You can get the seeds from several suppliers if you google them.
The golden one looks like some form of verbascum which comes in many heights and colours and is either biennial or a short lived but freely seeding perennial.

Happy to help. I fell in love with that purple lysimachia several years ago when I saw it on the Hilliers stand at Chelsea and I always have some verbascums on the go but usually the phoenicum group which comes in shades from white through pinks to purples. They're shorter and a bit tidier than the bigger varieties.

Alex - I think if you contact Homebase after Chelsea - you'll get some help with sourcing the details of all the planting.
I can't make out the white plant well enough for you as it's a bit blurry when I enlarge, but I'm sure someone else will ID it. It looks a bit like an allium though...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thank to GWForum I have now found the plant lists - the first one above (with the lysimachia)
and the verbascum was in the Homebase garden http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/static/chelsea/urban-retreat-plant-list
Please could someone give me a name for the white flower in the first picture? - planted with the lysimachia
Thanks

Thank you both.
It was in the M&G garden and I put the plant list above but didn't know what I was looking for. On the list I find - Centranthus Album
