I haven't read through all 28 pages of messages ( :-) ) But have you ever considered planting Balsam Impatiens? (I. balsamina)?
I was in the UK a few years back and went for a walk with a friend through a wooded area. There was a stream along the edge of a field and on the wooded side there were many flowers that were about shoulder High!
When I asked if she knew what they were, she said they were Balsam. The flowers were Quite Similar to impatiens, as were the leaves and seed pods!
SO, If you would like to consider adding some Height to your planting... You may want to try ordering some seeds online! They come in Many different colors and flower types...just like their shorter cousins :-)
