I am a USDA zone 6 and in the West so soil will make our results
different but so far my most reliable rebloomers are:
IMMORTALITY, bloomed in May, August and October of 2000, slow to settle
in but then it is great
CORAL CHALICE, bloomed in May, August, and October of 2000 but the
October rebloom was short, fat stalks
SAXON, bloomed in May, late July, and October 2000
SIGN OF LEO, usually blooms 2 or 3 times but doesn't like to be crowded.
PINK ATTRACTION, bloomed May and October 2000, in garden and in pots
BELVI QUEEN, bloomed May, August and October till frost, very heavy
rebloom doesn't like to be crowded
BUCKWHEAT, bloomed May and late October.
ROSALIE FIGGE, this was planted in 1999 in pot then in ground and bloomed
May 5, August 17, and October 20, 2000. However, no Spring 2001 bloom but
the plant looks good
SUMMER HOLIDAYS, bloomed May, late August and bloom stalks froze in early
November
AUTUMN CIRCUS, bloomed in early May and October 2000 of its first bloom
season
I put in quite a few new rebloomers in the last 2-3 years but don't know
just what their habits are going to be yet. Sheba's Queen, Point Made,
Stellar Lights and Radiant Angel are ones I have high hopes for. Doesn't
anyone else grow Stellar Lights? This has got to be one of the deepest,
most intense colors I can grow and I love it.
Good Luck.
