No frost yet for us - it gets close, say, 34 degrees. This is unheard of. In 90% of the years we have had a plant destructive frost by October 15. My annuals and tender perennial and tomatoes are just fine.

I have lost several speciosum and I think the problem is soil that is too alkaline. I am going to order Uchida next year fromB&D and treat them properly - perhaps in pots.

Oh, fleur guy, thank you regarding Luminaries. I always wondered if that was my fault! And White Henryi you might want to think about. I always ignore it till it blooms. So unfussy I do not worry. Then it takes my breath away.
