There's a ceanothus - 'Gloire de Versailles'' - that flowers in the early summer and again in the autumn. Many salvias are still going strong as well as fuchsias

Rudbeckia, Heliopsis, Asters, some Sedums (Autumn Joy), Liriope, Nerine bowdenii, Heliopsis, Solidago, Solidaster, Dahlia and Cosmos are some. Also some spring flowers may have a second show in autumn, such as primulas/primroses/polyanthus. Others like Verbena bonariensis will still be flowering from early summer. Clematis viticella varieties will flower from July until first frosts.
