H. moscheutos varieties with most blooms? Indeterminates?

Frederick, MD(Zone 6b)

Hey! I've got a couple of the indeterminate blooming H. moscheutos (from Walter's Gardens), and they definitely produce more flowers than my older ones ('Southern Belle', 'Kopper King', 'Plum Crazy'). I'd love to know what other varieties bloom all along the stem and not just at the tips. I think that's a characteristic of all the "Summerific" series, but I'm not sure... Lots of places advertise that some variety is "extra long blooming" or "ever blooming" but don't say what its bloom habit is...

Here are the ones I know of (asterisks on those I planted this year or last):

* Cranberry Crush ("Summerific")
Razzberry Jam
* Midnight Marvel
* Berrylicious ("Summerific")
* Summer Storm ("Summerific" series)

other "Summerific" that I haven't seen in person, not sure whether or not they're indeterminate.

I do realize "indeterminate" isnt' the only factor in "more flowers." Some of the newer, more compact varieties also look like they branch a lot -- and the more branches, the more flowering tips.

Share your thoughts on this, please!
