Reblooming the last few days

7 years ago

I haven't had an opportunity to post recently, but not a lot new. I am seeing reblooming scapes on several plants though. I am not sure I posted Ruby Shadows on its original bloom. I moved this one last fall, and it seems to be very happy in its new home.

    Yay for your rebloomers! Ruby Shadows is really pretty. Mapping Pennsylvania has wonderful color! American Freedom is always a looker. For some reason, even in my garden, I always expect it to be red!! My Heartbeat of Heaven has not rebloomed. I like the subtle colors on Subtle Knife!

    Glad your getting rebloom. Heartbeat Of Heaven has a nice ruffled edge. Perhaps the weather has lightened the actual bloom color?

    Nancy 6b , we appear to be in somewhat similar zones. I lost Mississippi Man last season . it lasted here about 3 or 4 years and then finally bit the dust last year . It was in a prominent place with good sun exposure but I guess just too tender to survive here . I may try it again as you never know it may have been something about the location or something I did wrong when planting it . Who knows. I did love its bloom and that is why I would like to try again .


    Ruby Shadows is really very pretty and looks to be quite robust . How is your Mapping Pennsylvania ? is it very hardy ? I grew Mapping New York and it bit the dust . I also grew Mapping Carolina which I loved . Lost it too. Have tried Mapping Carolina for a second time hoping that this time I have found a sweet spot for it to grow .


    How does Terry Lyninger do for you . It is one I have admired for years but am really cautious about adding evergreens here .

    Ruby Shadows is a pretty one! How nice it and so many others are reblooming for you! Mississippi Man is so pretty. It's a shame it's tender. It died for me several years ago without ever blooming.

    Mississippi Man has been here 7 years. I did well the 1st 3 or 4 years, then lost a couple of fans one really bad winter, then last years late freeze hit it hard. It dropped back to a single fan that did not bloom last year. It is a single monster fan this year. Blooms are quite large.

    I have never had a but if trouble with Ruby Shadows. It multiplies modestly, but usually reblooms. It did well in its previous place, but was in a shadier area, and getting shaded even more from larger daylilies. I just got Mapping Pennsylvania last fall, but it came through the winter just fine. I got it from Laura though, so should be good. I am sure she can tell you more. I have had Terry Lyninger 3 years now, I think. This was it's best year, I did move it last year because it was much shorter than I expected, even the foliage. It has multiplied well, not tons of buds, although the rebloom scape is actually better it looks. This was the 1st year it did not bloom down in the foliage. 1st year blooms were almost on the ground, next year's better, but this year all but one scape was out of the foliage.

    Thank you for the comments!
