Sunflowers and large flowers

I have two allotment plots next to each other. I find it is pointless growing any small flowers as they get lost in the veg. Instead I grow:
Giant Sunflowers - so uplifting to see their giant yellow faces on a sunny day.
Nasturtiums - self seeding and covering vast areas if you let them - great in competition with marrows.
Sweet William - almost indestructible and give flowers early in the season.
What about you?
