    like I said, all info needs to be double checked ... on the web, some sites gives the exact months, and others will say 'summer' ... so it depends on which site you get the info ... example:
    Perennials.com :: Plant Details (Sidalcea ‘Brilliant’)

    and here is another site that says it flowers from June to august:
    http://www.rhsplants.co.uk/plants/_/perennials/sidalcea-brilliant/itemno.RH30000342/


    obviously, your info will be more correct, as you have 1st hand experience of actually growing it in your own garden

      Surprisingly, Calibrachoa million bells, flower exceptionally long, even past the first frost, not just that but it is actually a perennial under -5C.. who'd have thought it, it's so exotic looking!

      Gazanias always do well, also Snapdragons, mine flowered en mass from April (and still are doing now)

      Abutilon megaptomicum - still flowering now.

      On Dims list is Beserra elegans. Sadly this doesn't bloom for a long period but deffo deserves to be grown!
