2. Clematis Franziska Marie
This double bloom clematis vine is a lovely shade of bluish-purple. The flowers, which are 4 to 5 inches across, bloom from early summer to fall. Full sun. Zones 4 to 9.

3. Hemerocallis 'Eleonore'
If you like daylilies, then ‘Eleanore’ is for you! The 6-inch flowers are pale lavender and fade to a creamy white color as the day progresses--they’re in bloom for 16 hours. Full sun. Zones 3 to 9.

4. Paeonia 'Sequestered Sunshine'

5. Moonflower
Moonflower is a vine that is grown from seed or rooting runners, unlike the other flowers mentioned here. The fragrant white, 7-inch diameter flowers bloom at dusk--perfect for your moon garden (read more about moon and evening gardens.
