What plants do urglers recommend as flowering for the longest time.
So many things I like flower for a week or two and then are over. In
my garden iris sibirica and Patty's Plum are offenders.

Ceanothus flowers about 10 months of the year here.
Hardy fuchsias like Mrs Popple flower for 6.
Of summer perennials, alstromeria flowers from June till late autumn.
Smaller and more subtle, westringia Blue Gem has flowered non stop
since I planted it last May

Janet.

My favourite are penstemon, they come in a wide variety of colours, for
me in the lower lying area of North Staffordshire they flower all Summer
and Autumn, even some into the Winter.
