Got one in my front garden, it grows rampant like a weed. No idea what it's called though.

Amaranthus caudatus (burgundy) Love lies bleeding.

Amaranthus hypochondriacus ??

I name it Susan, it looks like a Susan to me, in the same way my cat is called Banbury.

By Jove I think you've got it.

What's a half hardy annual then - will it flower over many years?

I also liked this heather, would be nice if I could get some growing in the front garden.

Any idea what it is?
