welcome to the garden helper marissa. one flower that comes to mind is a hydrangea. there are varieties that get fairly tall and they are one of the largest flowers i know. others are hibiscus and azaleas. There are some more knowlegeble folks on here from your area who will probably give you a better answer.

My first flowers that got me hooked
were Zinnia's, the tall kind.......
They were beautiful and real easy if I grew them.

I agree with lizheaemma on the sunflowers,
very easy to grow and fun to watch as they follow the sun...

And my personal favorites are lillies!! cool cool cool
Oriental's, luv Asian's, luv Trumpets, luv Orienpets, luv Stargazer's luv ....tiger's, easter......

Marissa,

How about some Peonies? The double blooms are big, the stems tall and stately. Dinner Plate Dahlias are big and pack a punch, I think!

Someone mentioned Zinnias....well, I absolutely love those plants!!! So easy to grow right in the garden bed from seed! Great for cutting and enjoying. I love to over plant the lot with these and just let them go wild! Of course, before I only had a tiny plot to grow them, but they are really long lasting in a vase, and on the plant, IMO. flw
Where are you going to plant them? Full sun, or shade?

Barbara
