Hi krainieri
So far my favorite is G. x magnificum. It is a clumper, not a sprawler like Rozanne. It blooms for about 3 glorious weeks late spring. Very tolerant of drought/neglect. I cut it down after it flowers, so it sprouts nice new foliage, then again in winter or spring. this plant is maybe 5-6 years old, and is over 7 feet across. Time to divide!
Last year I planted a new cultivar: G. x magnificum 'Rosemoor'. It is billed as a bit smaller, longer blooming and less likely to flop. It is blooming now, it started blooming about 2 weeks after the regular variety. We shal see about the rest.
