Final Touch is a great late bloomer. I've grown it for many years. It usually starts blooming here the first week of July and many years has continued blooming until the first of September.

Here is my Final Touch, last blooms here were about two weeks ago.

That's a really long stretch, Debra.

Very pretty, Sherry.

Does both of yours bloom all by itself? Or do you have other late ones?

Mine seems so lonely blooming when all her garden mates are done, that I think I need another late bloomer to keep her company. Any suggestions?

thank you, Sherry, for the suggestions. And, yes, I'd love to see the pictures.

These photos were all taken in the sun. the colors are cooler looking on shady days.

Those are beautiful, Sherry. Thanks for posting.

Laura Harwood would probably be a nice contrast with Final Touch, though I really love pinks, so also love Orchid Corsage. I'll definitely have to be on the lookup next spring for a late bloomer to hang out with Final Touch.

I typed the wrong month for when my Final Touch starts blooming. It should have been early July, and not June. My best really late bloomers are Last Chance for Romance, Surfin Dude and Rouen Cathedral. I have a lot of other late bloomers, but they start blooming much earlier than Final Touch and don't bloom as long.
