Agree, but I do get Some reblooming, it's still one of my favorites have shown this picture many times

Nice blooms. Here is mine from June this year after rain.

I got Invincible Spirit 2 last year which doing good too. The stems are sturdy and strong just like Incrediball. Here is one photo

Have you noticed if Spirit 2 reblooms too?

hyed..gorgeous..would you say they get quite a bit of light?..I think my shade prevents the blooming that you get..

Hi Nichols, my spirits get about 8 hrs sun...also pickup A couple Spirit 2 this May

I knew it!!..I love working in my shade BUT the most colorful gardens have sun..

My spirit 2 is not showing any signs of reblooming yet. I do see very little new growth but I am monitoring.

Wow. My IS2 never blooms that deep of a pink. I love mine though and yes it is reblooming right now. Thee flower heads aren't as big as the first or as pink but love them anyways. Even my Annabelles have a few rebloom on them. Judy

If you'd want to estimate a cutoff date for "trimming old blooms to encourage new" I would loosely recommend two months from the end of your growing season (and the rebloom won't be as large).

My arborescens tend to get hit with fungal issues and leaf loss toward the end of the season, so I would place my cutoff date as mid-July.

Currently, they're just sticks with a handful of leaves on them. They'll be back in force come next April / May!
