Here is a photo of the Heleniums in my Cottage garden border.

It's a plant that can really look nice in Summer with an abundance of Yellow/Red Flowers, some varieties being just one shade. Growing to around 3ft tall, they can bush out and attract the Bees to a garden as well. In Autumn they can be cut right back to soil level, then will re-emerge the next Spring.

Also they can be lifted and divided into smaller clumps too.

Might need some support in Summer with a cane and tied in.
