On a packet of Sunflower seeds :

"for a sensational garden" combine these Lemon Sunflowers with Bright Lights Cosmos,
Tithonia Torch and Morning Glory Tricolor"

This was not necessarily a container recipe---but even in a bed?? The sunflowers grow 5 to 6 feet.
The Cosmos are about 12 inches to maybe 18 inches and I don't know how tall Tithonia grows as it does not grow for me.

Is there a shorter yellow Sunflower variety? It seems there would be a gap between the Tithonia and the Sunflowers?
I have seeds for a shorter Orange Sunflower which might work,but I think I'd like to use a yellow.

I would use a short yellow sunflower, the Bright Lights Cosmos, Amaranthus Autumn Palette and a deep blue morning glory.
This would be in a large container. Any ideas???
