Dear Linda:  If you self IMMORTALITY you will get a spectrum from
everbloomers to non-rebloomers, I would think. Same for HARVEST OF
MEMORIES. The rebloom feature seems to depend on several factors. I would
not recommend selfing, now that there are so many good rebloomers to use.
From a lot of experience, I would not use West-Coast rebloomers, unless
they had shown in your own garden that they have enough hardiness for your
climate.  Lloyd Z in Durham NC where we have had a little rain at last.
