Hi Mike,
This is what George said about the Space Age Rebloomers:
In response to your questions about reblooming SA iris:
Scented Bubbles is top notch, but seldom reblooms. Dance for Joy gives
us
good rebloom. Good Fairy is nice in the spring but does not rebloom
every
year. Second Show doesn't always have horns on its rebloom stalks.
Starship hasn't done well here. Shoot the Moon has inconsistent
appendages,
but it is bright. Rock Star is great and reblooms early every year.
Gilded
is ok but not my favorite color. Doublemint reblooms faithfully, but
doesn't have horns all the time. Mesmerizer is always blooming here; we
have to dig it and replant or it will bloom out!
I'm not sure of Lloyd's or ours, except we have received many reports of
Honey Scoop reblooming. It does for us too, but with short horns
instead of
its scoops. We've also had a report of Three Seasons reblooming in
Idaho,
and Golden Immortal won a fall rebloomer show in Maryland this past
fall.
We do have some SAs that rebloom in the seedpatch, most of them out of
Stingray.
Hope this is of some help.
George
this is all that was said about the RE SAs. He didn't mention his
observations regarding why they rebloom.
>Sterling asked a question about reblooming SAs, a couple that should
>have been on the list are DOUBLE OH SEVEN, reblooms faithfully in >fall
with upside down flounces HIGH POINT reblooms in mid summer to >late
fall.
Yes, George forgot to mention these but I found them on your website and
have put my order in for them. Thanks. That High Point is QUITE a
looker!!!
