Valerie, I would simply suggest, looking at Schreiner's website, for example. Using the left side bar, to select the color, & checking border bearded, or tall bearded & then selecting a "late" blooming variety...
The thing about it, is, that what may bloom early, for me, down here, may bloom, not only much later on, up there & sometimes it's just best, to simply drive around & see what is in flower locally, to try & find out, what flowers, there, when you want to pair it up, with something else, in your climate & do so, while it's in flower !.
I used to look in catalogues, long ago & they'd "state" a given flowering period & it wasn't anything at all, nearly when they'd actually bloom, for me !
Because, my "seasons', are often, more like, between San Francisco & L.A., but located on the East coast.. (Between "Hampton Roads' & the Chesapeake Bay waters, (near Buckroe Beach.) You may look it up online, in Google, if you haven't an Atlas, or a map, using Google earth. I'm nearly in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, on a "Peninsula'.

Not really, all that far away, from, the old "Fort Monroe" either, which is rather historic & may now be either a"State" or ('National ?) Park. It's just "there" & I don't pay much mind, to all the "news", after they'd tried to figure out what to do with it ! lol
