I'm sad to hear that
The following is what they do for me. I certainly agree that we've had
better rebloom this year because of our unusual summer rain and the best
rebloom has been in the less dry areas. Still I reckon it would be hard to
stop Bountiful Harvest, Harvest of Memories, Recurring Ruffles and Feedback
from reblooming. These usually attempt rebloom no matter how miserable they
look. My miserable little plant of Corn Harvest, in the most neglected dry
area even tried throwing up a bloom stalk (about 12"). I took pity on it and
snapped the stem off, and moved it to get it going properly.
