Helenium

These no name helenium are one of my favorite flowers, primarily for the combination of colors.  They are blooming sooner than I hoped, and wanting to sprawl.  This is a perfect example of a perennial that needs pinched back in spring.  Pinching back slows the growth cycle and makes the plant both shorter and branchier.  Is branchier a word? : )
