Re-Blooming Iris'

I've been fascinated by this idea since gldno mentioned it!! I just found this site, and thought I would share:

REBLOOMERS:

Some Iris will bloom after the regular season of bloom. These are called rebloomers. They most often rebloom in the fall, but can sometimes bloom earlier and more often. If they have rebloomed in southern Ontario I have noted this. Other varieties that have been registered as reblooming are also noted. Warmer areas can have rebloom on plants that won't rebloom here. The season can greatly affect the quality and quantity of rebloom. Extra water and fertilizer in the summer can also encourage rebloom. The rebloom is over a long period of time, so don't expect the massed display as in spring.

The following are among the best rebloomers in my garden. Zone 5b Canadian or Zone 4 USA. We have cold, wet springs and killing frost near the end of October.

Tall Bearded: Cantina, Clarence, Immortality, Pink Attraction, Queen Dorothy, Rosalie Figge, Total Recall

Miniature Tall Bearded: Lady Emma

Miniature Dwarf Bearded: Forever Violet

Intermediate Bearded: Blessed Again, Lo Ho Silver, Precious Little Pink

Standard Dwarf Bearded: Baby Blessed, Blueberry Tart, Forever Blue, Frankincence, Hot, Little Showoff, What Again

Note: Not all of the above named Iris may be available in this years offerings. Please check in the Iris Variety pages to see what can be ordered.
