Hardy flower

[RkyMtnWine]

OK... anyone familiar with flower species.. this is a what is it question. I transplanted this early summer.. not knowing what it was at that time. This thing is a survivor.. quiet a few evenings temp in that area has been 17 degrees and its still blooming... bird bath next to it has been hard frozen. Not really a wine topic ... unless I use the flower petals.. probably poison.
