I have gotten some fall cyclic seedlings from Celebration Song used as pollen on Forever Blue. And FB is not a cyclic rebloomer. The plant vigour imparted by FB enabled the cyclic genes to work.

Crystal Glitters is a rebloomer, so GACG13 may have cyclic genes but not rebloom as it doesn't have plant vigour needed to enable cyclic rebloom.

So that just leaves the one with Stunning Seranade, which is yet to be proved as a rebloomer.

Keep me posted.

The three that I can think of were IMM X pollen from CELEBRATION SONG
(one fall cycle out of ~50 surviving seedlings), GACG13 (GOLDEN APPLE X
CRYSTAL GLITTERS), and STUNNING SERENADE.

Hard to evaluate how "serious" these all are about rebloom, given my
growing conditions, but the first one is old enough and I have enough of
it planted to say it is definitely a cycle rebloomer. The second one
has fall cycle bloomed in one new clump the last couple of years (GACG13
has never rebloomed, but isn't that great a grower). The third is too
young to know for sure, but rebloom was not maiden bloom.

CSONG is in the rebloom checklist, but only from OR, WA, & Oz, & I don't
know what time of year it was reported to rebloom.

<When you get Fall cyclic rebloors from Immortality, is it from a cross
of Im X oncer or a cross of Im with a cyclic rebloomer?
