Re: REB: rain
Donald ,
I have Monarda that grows out of control in my rebloomer bed , it's
messy but gives plenty of shade. I noticed a stalk of ISTANBUL a few
days ago that I planted out in the garden in late April after keeping it
alive in the windowsill this winter. I don't know if this is considered
rebloom or just confused since it didn't bloom in June for me.
Nothing else has rebloomed for me but I expect good fall show this year
from all of the hardy rebloomers that I put in last summer.
