Blooms all summer and fall? Has those summer bloom genes, so I care.
But I'm a bit confused - Chuck, are you saying that in your experience, crossing fall cycle TBs with FOREVER BLUE produces everbloomers? Or summer bloomers? I thought your theory was that everblooming (i.e. FB) and summer are both full recessive?
Or did you mean it produces a high percentage of cycle type rebloomers, enhances ability of fall cycle type TBs to give cycle seedlings that bloom more reliably?
I dont' quite understand how Mary Lou's summer blooming seedling from a cycle reblooming seedling X FB fits the theory, unless FB has at least one dose of summer too. But you didn't get any summers from IMM X FB, so that seems unlikely. Interesting.

summer and fall... Mary Lou>
