Well,
If you like blue in blooms and summer to late flowering you have to get
into gentiana... you can have blue blooms from late June through
mid-December here with 3 or 4 species of these babies. For very late color
use our native andrewsii or saponaria... blooms form September through
mid-December. Our native Delphinium exaltatum is a tall one that rebloom
faithfully when cut back. With deadheading it can be in bloom from July
through mid-December.
