We used to grow tithonia for cut flowers. Smaller sunflower but bushy and lots of flowers.

Oh, they get HUGE! I planted exactly FIVE this season - I’ll have pictures later in the season. Butterflies just go crazy for them, but they do take up a lot of room in a garden bed.

One is in my Veggie garden and the other four are on the edges of our (ill-fated, it seems; Ragweed taking over) Wildflower area.
