I've been singing the praises of May Night. I had it in Phoenix and it did well there with some additional water. Then I moved to Tennessee (no additional water needed so far this spring!). It started blooming for me this past week - after blooming up to and through frost last fall, all the way through summer. And it has such an electric kind of purple color. It's not a huge plant, but it does get noticed. It's about 24-30" for me here. This year I'm putting coreopsis 'Sunshine Superman' in with it. It has Lamb's Ears next to it right now, but it is proving to be a real thug.

I'm afraid this pic doesn't do the color justice.
