Great job Tootles. I'd have a place for each of those, with a very slight preference for the helenium (but only slight.....happy to go with the others if anyone else has a stronger pull).
Just a thought, but would anyone be interested in a little experiment where a few of us order the same plant from the same provider within the same week, and then compare delivery, quality, how well it grows etc....maybe take cuttings or collect seeds too..... could be fun and interesting.

I have a sunny spot too
It looks very healthy Chicky! The leaves do look the same colour. Fingers crossed it has seeded.
I'd be up for another go. I'll have a look at what's available for a sunny spot.
Here are a few options.....
Gaura lindheimeri 'summer emotions' £3.99 for three plugs from the RHS.
Helenium sneezweed (should the word 'weed' put us off?) waltraut. £4.99 RHS.
Geranium macrorrhizum 'white-ness' £5.49 for 3 X 9cm pots. RHS.
Very open to other ideas if anyone has something they really want to have a go at, or a supplier you want to try?

I could find a home for either the gaura or the sneeze weed
Possibly both ,,,
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It looks like the helenium has the edge. I think the price includes postage.
Let's see who else wants to join in, and maybe decide at the weekend. I'm excited already!!
Exciting, I will definitely take part this year! I prefer the Gaura or the Helenium to the third one, but I'm happy to try anything.
I'm excited about this.
Im happy with any off the plants but my favourite is the Helenium. (But I would be happy with all)
Yup, I will have a shot , heleniums have not done well in my garden before so perhaps this is the
push I need.
let me know what you decide and I will order the plant. Are we all to get from the same source?

Same rules as before??
