Hi Carryl,
Reliable, low care rebloomers that I grow are Thrice Blessed SDB,
Forever Blue SDB, Champagne Encore IB, Precious Little Pink IB and
Immortality TB. Some classic TBs that rebloom regularly at the
Central Experimental Farm here in Ottawa are Earl of Essex, English
Cottage, I Do, and Violet Returns. I'm hoping for more rebloom this
year but we're going to need a bit more sun. We've gone from drought
to steady rain.
