I purchased A. desertorum for the purported 3 month blooming period throughout the summer months, with regular dead-heading. I am far too lazy and distracted to accomplish any sort of regular dead-heading, but the image posted above with bumble bee shows fresh blossoms at the end of July during a standard summer heat wave. I'm a believer now!
The plant is grown in full sun for the most part, with some part-shade conditions for a few hours in the afternoon.
