Best Rebloomers

18 years ago

I had less rebloom here than in the past five years. Here were my Top 10 rebloomers for 2008.

Tied for Number 1 are WALKING IN BEAUTY and BLAZING SADDLES. Both had three distinct cycles of bloom.

BLAZING SADDLES

WALKING IN BEAUTY

{{gwi:663424}}

2. RICTER - Rebloom was even better than the first bloom cycle, and every fan put up a rebloom scape.

3. GREEN MYSTIQUE had immediate rebloom which gave it a very long run this year.

4. MOZAMBIQUE NIGHTS also had immediate rebloom with lots of buds.

6. WISEST OF WIZARDS

7. RHINE MAIDEN

8. MY DARLING CLEMENTINE

    My Darling Clemintine is a really nice butter yellow. I'll check into that one. And I've had my eye on Green Mystique. Nice to hear they are rebloomers for you.

    I've had rebloom scapes on some plants that never rebloomed before. That being said, the lack of rain here has made my dayliies look really ragged, and some things that should have bloomed longer probably didn't. Some surprises in the rebloom department were Geneva Firetruck, Splendid Touch - rebloom on same, single fan, Longstocking, Vanilla Fluff, Siloam June Bug, and Miss Quinn's World, which has never been out of bloom since it started blooming with my "earlies."

    This was a good year for rebloom in my garden. The top five for me were -

    1. BIG KISS - I lost count how many times this one rebloomed. It just kept going and going.

    2. GREEN MYSTIQUE - Three seperate rebloom scapes...but still a single fan.

    3. ALL FIRED UP - Always a reliable rebloomer.

    4. CALICO JACK - This one surprised me, because it's fairly new. Good rebloom and fast increase.

    5. INSIDER TRADING - Rebloomed into September (I bought more this Fall).

    Other good rebloomers were: HEARTS OF FIRE, MING PORCELAIN, UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT, SPIDER MAN and ZONA ROSA.

    Linda - Good to know Geneva Firetruck is a good rebloomer. Maybe mine will start blooming next year. I've had it two years now with no bloom at all. I'm hoping it goes crazy with blooms next year.

    Kathy - I love the photo of Insider Trading! I can see why you wanted multiple plant of that one. Green Mystique is a slow increaser here too. I bought it as two fans last year, and it's still just two fans.

    Oh, how lucky! Nothing reblooms for me here in northern IL. I bought from a southern dealer 3 years ago: most were listed as rebloomers. I didnÂt buy them for that, I chose them for their color, but I thought it would be a nice bonus IÂd never had before. A few rebloomed the first year I had them, when they were "on southern time", and since then, no rebloom. Now I just ignore it if a description says rebloom. My growing season is probably too short. I look for a high bud count instead, because I know they will bloom for a long time; and try not to fall in love with anything with a low bud count.

    Linnea - What you need to look for are instant rebloomers. Richard Norris is breeding in the north for that characteristic. Karol Emmerich is another northern hybridizier who is breeding for rebloom in the north.

    I love "Harvest Moth". I wonder if it would do ok in California?

  • 18 years ago

    Hosenemesis - Harvest Moth is a dormant. I don't think it would do very well in zones greater than 7.

    Debra, thanks for posting this message. I figure whatever does well for you should do fairly well for me. I always enjoy your gorgeous photos. Thanks to everyone else for listing your great rebloomers. That is what we all want - everblooming daylilies!

    Debra - I have three clumps of Navy Blues, and all three rebloomed??!! But I have two clumps of PGB, and only one rebloomed - same bed, but it gets more sun. Ooo... I still love that Chartered Course - good to know it is a good rebloomer!
