Cupid's dart, Catananche caerulea, lasts ages. They are small lilac-blue flowers, but have nice long straight stems and flower continuously from June to September time. They make a lovely splash of contrast amongst other flowers. And they are perennial, they'll thicken into a clump big enough to divide, but tend not to be promiscuous in spreading around. The seed heads are pretty too.
