Re: Re: REB: CULT: in re to -IMMORTALITY

This may not be much help with IMMORTALITY, but  some years back we had John 
Weiler for our chapter's guest speaker and his comment at that time was that 
he had had it for 5 years with no bloom and was about to throw it out, when it  
- on the 5th year - bloomed gloriously.  So maybe it needs to be settled in. 
 There seems to be two schools of thought about rebloomers as to whether to 
move them frequently to form an irritation that is supposed to be the promotion 
for bloom. Some have said to just "lift" them  and then replaced in the same 
spot so  the next year's bloom is not  obstructed.  My moves are usually in 
remaking the whole bed, since I keep rebloomers together, and I never know 
whether to do this before  the RE-bloom or try to wait and do it after when they 
may not have time to heel themselves in before cold weather and have their late 
RE-bloom upset.  SO I do it when it suits me, the weather and when I can get 
help and hope for the best!   Rosalie nr Baltimore, USA  zone 7, altho I have 
not yet checked that new map and as yet and we are on our 3rd day of sunshine!
