That lobelia has lasted through the summer, fall, winter - blooming once in a while, whenever, and reseeding itself freely, especially in any pot containing the white verbena.

Sherry, I think the bloom color of the buddleja is the same as your 'Dark Knight' but the leaves are variegated on mine. But I don't know if that makes a diff.
