Re: HYB:REB:Sunlight Dependent & Independent

My only daylight independent rebloomers that have bloomed for me after the initial Spring bloom have been Halston and Pure as Gold.

I have Renown and Immortality, but they have never rebloomed any other time but in the Fall  and just before a hard frost along with my other Fall bloomer cultivars and seedlings
