I am relieved for you, Christa. Does What Again rebloom for you? I've
had it two years and it hasn't rebloomed -- even with extra watering and
fertilizing. Thrice Blessed rebloomed faithfully with no extra
attention. It's now in the same bed as What Again and I'll see if it is
a location problem. How much sun is required for rebloom? I think that
the location has slightly less sun mid- to late summer.
