I have several and they're all still going strong, but things in my garden have varied greatly this year, what did well last year hasn't this and vice versa , so for me it been a bit disappointing. Mind you the bees and butterfly numbers (that's what I plant for) although a bit late have been better than last year.
Dave, I noticed the butterflies late this year, lots of bees right from the start though.
strange how we all vary so.
my garden was quite disappointing too, I am digging out lots of stuff and having a complete rethink this year for next, rabbit damage was the worse, so not much autumn colour although Echinops, Helenium, Montreal and rudbeckia are wonderful, so they must have liked all the rain.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

My deep wine one has been flowering for ages and still is.
common old lilac railway embankment ones are almost finished.
white is quite slow this year but the bloom are huge.
