    Cephalaria gigantica, the giant yellow scabious, grows to around 6ft and needed no staking in my Northumberland garden (which was windy).

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I have a 6ft tall thalictrum Elin which stands by itself, as does Helianthus Lemon Queen and Joe-Pye weed (latin name escapes me at the momentimage).  I also have clematis growing up obelisks to give height at the back of the border.

    Edit - JP weed = Eupatorium (thankyou Mr Googleimage)
