My Alstroemeria Inca Ice 'Koice' has been flowering for months, my various Primroses that flowered in Spring and are beginning to flower again now and my various grasses have put on a good show this year too.
My favourite has been Phormium Cream Delight - it's still my favourite now and will continue to be over winter. It's shone like a little beacon on all the dull, lousy days we've had this year and is a complete 'delight' in winter.
Clematis Etoile Violette is always a favourite but Niobe has been glorious in it's depth of colour, so it has taken EV's place. The third would be the Pasqueflowers in spring, heralding the longer days and warmer weather to come - even if it didn't!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh you just made me think of a lovely double perennial poppy Firecracker that performs brilliantly every year, if deadheaded its just goes on and on, Papaver Rupifragum 'Double Tangerine Gem',well worth growing, even better my seeds were free in a mag many years ago

Well if you can have more than 3 Verdun, I will add Amnsonia taber[can't remember rest of name], beautiful blue flowers.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Verdun, how far back do you cut your Geranium?
Flowerlover, they will grow in part shade but not full shade, they need around 6 hours of direct sun a day to flower well
Fairygirl forgot the phormiums !!, think I overlook them because they just look good all the time
How do you choose? Rudbeckia, Salvia and no way our garden would be without Welsh poppies all over the place.
