Re: HYB: REB: mixing cold climate & CA

Hi Mike
That 's all very well but on our pH 6 soil Tropical Delight has been struggling to grow for 5 years. I've now got some soil that has been liberally dressed with grape marc, which raises the pH.. Think I'll move my Tropical Delight very shortly, before it passes away.

Interestingly enough *very* few rebloomers came out of immortality crosses for us, none that were "summer" rebloomers, all had poor form. None were kept, that I can remember anyway. The highest percentage of summer rebloom seedlings for us have come from Tropical Delight......don't know if that helps any.

Mike, at one time, you or George were doing a few IMMORTALITY crosses - did you see any seedlings that were summer rebloomers?
When I say "summer", I just mean sometime after main spring bloom and early enough to always avoid fall frost.
