Thanks, I looked it up and I'll leave it in for now. I'd put the foxglove in to attract pollinators and the willowherb sounds good for that, too.

I didn't know that - but mine did the opposite by flowering the first year and then disappearing the second and have now reappeared in a different place.
I'd sowed some wildflower seeds around the back and only got poppies the first year which the bees liked. The next year I didn't get any poppies at the back but did at the front, so I collected the poppy seeds and sprinkled them over the back; nothing. Repeated the next year; nothing. This year I have poppies everywhere.
