Is anything else as long flowering as erysimum?

[WellTidy]

Mine have been wonderful this year, they've grown loads and I am loving how long flowering they are. I am looking forward to a few months more too. Is there anything else that flowers for as long, or close to as long please?

Potentilla are pretty good. But not as good.

Perennial geraniums, especially if you chop them back when they appear to have finished = a second flush.

I'm new to erisymums this year. Does cutting the flower stalks back encourage further blooms? I have Bowles Mauve.

My hardy fuchsias flower for ages too

Oh yes, my hardy geraniums are doing really well too. In fact, a bit too well, they are beasts! I will definitely be splitting them. I have hardy fuschia hawkshead, which you're right, has flowered for ages.

Potentilla looks nice, thank you.

I should have said that I choose not to have anything yellow, orange or red flowering in my garden, which is a bit limiting!

I am also new to erysimum so I can't comment on cutting the stalks, sorry. I am new to it all, really, so I don't have any advice to give. It is the first year that I have taken any interest in my garden but I am loving it.

My erysuim has flowered continually for 18 months now so I doubt it. It's so easy to make new plants from too.. it's positively ever lasting!

Pull out some bits and stick them round the edge of a terracotta pot with a free draining mix over winter. Couldn't be any simpler :)

Towards the end of September just pull out a non flowering bit and pull the top off and stick it in a pot and water once then leave it over winter.

The difficultly would be finding a non flowering stem but there will be one somewhere.

I've had the same erysiym for about 12 years - cuttings and cuttings and cuttings.

Thank you too! I didn't know the original flaked out

Lavender is good for being long flowering.
We also have a bright pink Rambling rose which flowers from May to October but does need deadheading once or twice to keep it going.

I am new to erysimim this year too. They haven't stopped yet. yy to hardy geraniums , particularly the creeping semi evergreen ones.
On a different size scale my hypericum 'Hidcote' has been flowering over 6-7 weeks so far, and a lot of flowers still to come . It usually flowers on and off until well into autumn

I took a couple of cuttings off my (still flowering) erysimum this weekend.

No idea which kind it is, other than not Bowles Mauve. It's a cracker, whatever it is!

Is the secret with cuttings to take them in time to make roots before the winter ? So from now onwards ?

Total failure with my pelargoniums last/this year .Though I couldn't have prepared them nicer gritty free draining pots .Sigh .

I'm a bit of a novice, tbh. I just keep trying them, and assume only a few will take.

I think you can definitely leave it too late, I took several from my Dad's cistus and st John's wort last autumn, and only ended up with one of each, I think they were too chilly in the porch. Might have preferred the kitchen window, but my poor partner is getting a bit exasperated by the millions of half dead things in vermiculite on every horizontal surface.
