re: late summer flowers

For late summer flowers, consider Helenium with its tall composite
(daisy-like) blooms of yellow, orange, and mahogany tapestry.  Also, the
Boltonia is a tall late white (also in pink) aster with zillions of airy
tiny daisy blooms.  The Chrysanthemum pacificum (being renamed now, I
think) doesn't bloom until October in zone 5b with tiny bright yellow
buttons.  A late bloomer for partial shade is the toad lilies,
Tricyrtis, in yellow or white with lavender spots. The creeping
leadwort, Cerastostigma plumbaginoides, is a very nice strong blue at a
time when most blues are finished.  I know I'll think of more as soon as
I post this . . .
