Can anyone suggest a "substantial" flowering perennial (or annual) for the
back of a border in a corner. I had verbena bonariensis last year, but it
was too see-through and didn't have enough presence. I want something
heavier and bulkier, with more oomph.

Thanks.

Acanthus mollis, Telekia speciosa or maybe Cardoon
