Longest blooming perennial?

In my garden, the coreopsis family blooms all summer, closely followed by
the purple coneflower.  Calamintha bloomed most of the summer until frost.
Come to think of it, nepeta "Six Hills Giant" lived up to its name, took
over a goodly part of the garden, and bullied its neighbors by growing all
over them and choking them out.  It was a nightmare to cut back as I
expected all sorts of snakes and field mice to come scampering out for
safety!  To its credit, it started blooming early June and never stopped
until frost.  And I liked the soft blue and grey; so I looked the other way
and told the other plants just to forgive it...much like an indulgent
mother would act with her favorite child.

Are we also considering rebloomers in this category?  I consider any plant
that behaves this way a bonus to have around.
