I often speak the praises of Johnson's Blue Geranium and Six Hills Giant Catmint because they bloom for the better part of the summer. But, this year I met new flower who puts these guys to shame.

She continued to bloom just as ecstatically in 100-degree summer heat.
It is mid-October and she is still flowering like crazy, in spite of snow, hail and nightly freezing temperatures. (This perennial doesn't have an off button!)

Compact plants about 10 inches in height. Mine loves the afternoon shade of a Ponderosa Pine. Dainty blooms peak out of shamrock leaf foliage and do a nice job of weeding themselves. Hardy to USDA zone 4. A non-invasive variety. No deadheading!
