I keep trying to figure out, from its pedigree, why TEA LEAVES is such a strong "summer" (i.e., hot weather) rebloomer here. Not prolific, but it has bloomed more often in summer than anything else here other than IMMORTALITY and BELVI QUEEN.
TL is Sky Hooks X Violet Classic. VC is a 'summer' here, but what does SKY HOOKS (Wedding Vow X Moon Mistress) have to contribute for rebloom in our climate? Does it come via WEDDING VOW from some of the pinks in its background?
MARIPOSA SKIES ((Wedding Vow x Violet Miracle) X Glistening Icicle) doesn't do well here, so no rebloom, but it is registered as a rebloomer.
No other rebloomers from WEDDING V listed in the online database.Any of you know if WEDDING VOW produces other rebloomers in our climate? Seedlings not introduced?
I wound up with 5 pods from (TEA LEAVES x CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE) X (IMM x CSONG) & with no rebloom from either parent, so am just pondering possibilities...shall I start all 244 seeds?
