'Taupo something or other' is looking very sad. It won't get through another winter.

I have that one growing on the bank into the Ten Foot Drain and it is lovely.

Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'. I'll treat it the herbaceous perennial way by hard pruning to the ground each spring to get the huge flowers on thick stems rather than let it grow into a shrub with smaller flower heads.

Some of those are very nice plants. I say, some, but they are all good. I just will not buy Delphiniums, yet mine reach 6 ft or more. S&s.
