can't remember if i gave you the link before but i find www.chilternseeds.co.uk to be very good.

Out of the plants mentioned, sunflowers and castor oil plant will get big quickly, bananas, dahlias, cannas and foxglove tree (paulonia) may take a bit longer and melianthus, nicotiana and zinnia are quite small.

As you say, if you raise the pots up, you'll get a better effect
Don't forget some of the taller, spreadin bamboo either which is often used as hedging and screening.

One last thing, if the caster oil plant is the annual ricinus, the seeds are deadly poisonous...they are used to make ricin poison.
If it's the fatsia that you mean...no probs...lovely plant
