I also would like to know where to get rebloomers for Zone 4/5.(I
can't see the Organic Gardening zone maps clearly enough to tell
exactly which Zone I am in.)
My TBs are in a mixed perennial bed
which includes 8 colours of daylilies along with bee balms and this
year, gladioli. The other end of the bed includes purple
coneflowers and various mints. I am trying to attract butterflies
and the purple coneflowers help with this. The iris fans are not
quite out of sight under the dalylilies and needing attention. But
I am involved in digging a new bed to make some more room for new
TB's.
