Marte,
You can't go wrong with JEWEL BABY. Mine has been blooming since March. I
don't know how it keeps doing it. I'm probably in a warmer climate than
you, but I would guess that JEWEL BABY would bloom twice a year or at least
have an extended bloom season in even the coldest climates.
Good luck,
