Try orientalis/tangutika. Yellow flowers and lots of old man's
beard. Also a very vigorous variety.

And just to add a note to a post I agree with, the cultivar of C. tangutica
called 'Bill MacKenzie' is an excellent one. And the fluffy seed heads at
the end of the season are beautiful.


And if like me, you don't like yellow ones, and would like big and
blousy, a friend of mine has a Fireworks which has big blue/purple/red
flowers in summer.
