What flowering shurbs are heat tolerant?

I would like to plant two flowering shrubs in my front yard. They need to be very heat and sun tolerant. It faces north so it gets the hottest part of the afternoon there. I live in Missouri if that helps.

What flowering shurbs are heat tolerant?
I have a zone 4 garden with very hot summers and have found that the following shrubs thrive once established:





Potentilla Shrubs bloom most of the summer


Spireas there are early and mid season blooming varieties


Deutzia blooms in Spring


Lilacs blooms in late Spring


Honeysuckle blooms in early Summer


Barberries are grown more for their leaf colour


Purple leaf Sand Cherries bloom in Spring and have nice burgundy leaves
