Sunflowers
Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) come in a range of sizes for the garden from relatively short to very tall (like these) and a variety of colours. Not only are their flowers attractive to insects such as hoverflies, but when fruiting, their attractive seed-heads are irresistible to birds like finches.
