What is the name of this plant?
I see it all over and am thinking of using it.
How long does it last? Is it a perennial? Easy to maintain?
ETA: The purple one on the left in the picture.

It is an easy perennial.

That's the precise reason we chose them!  Definitely a candidate for a site away from the kids or seating area.
Mine is 'May Night' and is drop dead gorgeous right now. I just bought three more!

Re: What is the name of this plant?
I have these and they get bigger every year, only complaint is all the bumble bees they attract, I'm pretty sure they bloom all summer long.

If I remember correctly, they were bloomed through August last summer. Its only my second year in the house and they were here when I arrived
They've been in bloom now for around a month or so...
