For low growth and late blooming here in zone 5 in New England I go for
Ceratostigma Plumbago Larpentae.
It grows 6 to 12 inches tall and has delicate blue flowers. I can't speak
about their drought tolerance as we're in thunderstorm territory by late
summer.
Also, several garden phlox varieties seem to last into the fall here.

Hi y'all
My spring garden is in full bloom and I am thinking about late summer and
fall. By late July, my garden is way past its peak, so this year my goal
is to plant perennials that will flower into the fall (and maybe winter).
I am in the San Diego area, so we have a long dry summer and fall. What do
you recommend?
