best rebloomers

Hello Laurie
As far as i know for sure, among the ones i have tested long enough, My best early rebloomer is Low ho silver. I also have good rebloom from Angel Heart, Champagne encore, Cry Baby, Concoction, Pearl of autumn, Return Chameleon (thanks Betty...!) and i'll be back .
Dozens others will eventually prove their worthyness, but i still don't know if they are relialable enough yet. 
Only time will tel!

What about rebloomers?  In your experience, are there enough that
succeed in your climate to warrant recommending them to
non-specialists?


Thank you for responding, Griff.

Unfortunately, no.  I've grown hundreds of rebloomers, including many
"cold-climate" rebloomers, but in the past 12 yrs, I've only had six
rebloom (What Again, Low Ho Silver, Faux Pas, Champagne Elegance, Sugar
Blues, Lilting).  Of those six, only one has rebloomed more than once
(two separate years - that was Lilting), and two died shortly after the
one time they did rebloom (Faux Pas and Champagne Elegance).

I have mentioned rebloomers in my "Irises 101" talks, but I have spoken
of them primarily in terms of potential future developments in irises,
not as something currently widely available to us here in northern MN.
