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
