I agree but height does vary according to situation. After moving mine to more direct sun and less fertile soil they are now about 4' tall. Before that they were 6'.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions, this plant was a clump about 2 feet wide and four feet high. I will research the Helianthus varieties. Many thanks for your help.

Not orange enough for Helianthus tuberosus.
I agree that it is Helianthus "Lemon Queen".
