French Lavender 'Anouk'.. I don't know how hardy this is but I like it very much.. Geranium 'Patricia'.. forms a large spreading plant, will climb as well.. Geranium 'Orion' with Hakonechloa.. Aquilegia 'Yellow Queen' again, I wish this stayed longer in the garden.. Geranium cambridge varieties, should flower for another month..
‘Alan Mayes’, a magnificum type, should repeat flower but never did for me. 'Anne Thomson', May to Nov, reliable 'Eureka Blue' maculatum 'Espresso', short flowering season but pretty foliage. sanguineum 'Max Frei' 'Elke'
..nice Geraniums @edhelka ... your Alan Mayes looks much like my 'Rosemoor', I'm not sure what the difference is, maybe yours is a bit darker.. it doesn't rebloom either..
@Marlorena I bought it from Penlan Perennials, their description (selected bits): - Flowers: May to late August. - After flowering all summer the leaves turn an attractive red in autumn. - Deadhead to promote flowering. I remember that when I bought it, it was described as a longer flowering version of magnificum. It isn't there anymore...
Descriptions elsewhere: RHS - "In spring and summer it produces a succession of large cup-shaped blue flowers" Cranesbill Nursery - not mentioning reblooming, but flowering period described as "May - August" (although they say the same for Rosemoor) Bluebell Cottage - "A bit like Geranium x magnificum but flowers for much longer."
@edhelka I think they make it all up as they go along. I used to grow the usual Geranium magnificum back in the 1990's with Iceberg roses. It only ever flowered for the month of June, approx June 1st-June 30th..and that was it. So whenever I see a cultivar of Ger. magnificum I don't expect it to flower for any longer than that, so when I got 'Rosemoor' I wasn't expecting anything else. To be honest I can't tell the difference between them.
Flowering in July/August is not something I've ever seen.

Anyway, it's pretty when it flowers.
