I would like to comment on one perennial that is more than holding its own now into mid November. It is my first Yarrow. I think the particular variety is 'Strawberry Seduction'. It did give those beautiful red flowers with that distinctive texture during the summer but the plant also needed support at that time.

Too long after it had finished flowering I finally decided to trim it back...quite severely. I should have done this much sooner as it rebloomed just as well and grew to a self-supporting height. This second flush has lasted all of October and to a lesser extent into November. It has had little difficulty dealing with several frosts in this time. I highly recommend this plant for the prolonged bloom period.
