Something yellow, 6', full sun

I need ideas for a yellow perennial, small tree, shrub or vine to grow right next to my back fence. It needs to stay within a 5' wide by 2' deep space. The only perennials I could find in my books are some in the sunflower family. I can also think of yellow butterfly bush but I have a lavender butterfly bush right next to it. I could do a yellow dahlia but would rather something that doesn't require so much deadheading since there are other plants in front. I'd love any ideas, thanks.

| I know you didn't want a sunflower, but Heliopsis Flore Pleno is a bright yellow, long blooming double sunflower but looks like a mum the flowers are so dense. It goes to about 5' high and as wide as you'll let it get - you can divide it periodically. I was very pleased with my first yr plant - the flowers last a very long time and the plant keeps blooming if you deadhead. |

| Helianthus Lemon Queen, Giant Cephalaria, or one of the yellow baptisias are what first came to mind, but my idea of full sun plants and Zone 9 full sun are probably very different things. |

| They're not very exotic, but I love my yellow bush daisies for their flowers and the fact that they're practically care-free and thrive in the sun. |
