In my garden it's about 4ft so far, and thats including the height of flowers. It's about 3ft wide. It looks lovely with the red Knautia growing through it. I'll check the labels, (that's if the birds haven't nicked them) and get back to you. I have Tenuifolia alba, same flowers as above but white, has lovely red stems when it starts growing, very tall.

Thanks Milky, the foliage is really nice too, very much like Melianthus, only smaller. It grows quite fast outwards (only I didn't know when I planted it) and crowds out other plants underneath. I found the label and it's S. obtusa, it starts off a darker pink then fades.

No sign of them yet, but I'm sure they'll make it as the previous winter was bad too, and they survived that!

Simbad, I've just found the label of the other Sanguisoba I have, it's called S. canadensis. It has tall white poker flowers. Including flowers, it reached a height so 5ft last year in my garden. No sign of it yet!
