Blomma, I always stop deadheading in September but to my surprise I got quite a few blooms in October, which given my zone is probably rather comparable to your September. The Dark Lady, Jude The Obscure, Heritage.

I only have one picture, and it only has a couple of flowers because I had just deadheaded it. The great thing is that it is zone 5 hardy. Hum - another one I'll grow again. I remember that in winter when it got spider mites, I could just set it outside to zap them - because it was zone 5 hardy - 4, in fact.

I had to beg my clients to allow me to deadhead their salvia, and they had Mainacht. They were shocked when it rebloomed, not once, but twice
