Moonbeam will bloom into fall if watered on a regular basis.  Also once or 
twice add water soluble fertilizer such as Miracle-Gro.  Miracle-Gro is 
available and cheap but somehow makes you a lesser gardener.  Don't be 
bothered about that just put some on the Moonbeam after blooming a few weeks 
and water regularly.  If you allow it dry out, it will complete once cycle of 
bloom and then become pretty foliage.  I never deadhead this plant, awful 
nuisance.
