        My tall, branching sunflowers are providing loads of blooms for cutting, seeds for birds (including our hens) and food for bees

                      Yes its Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'. Some say it's perennial but I bought one back in Feb that didn't survive being a little too wet. I'll see how this replacement goes over winter. I'm going to accompany it with a smaller green grass throughout the bed next summer.
