Telling tales out of school here, but it's been told that Gus Schreiner made
search and destroy trips through the seedling beds in off seasons.
Reportedly, he carried a shovel and would dig anything blooming off season, thus
purging rebloom from their lines.
Not totally successful since many of their early red irises carry rebloom.
Inferno put up stalks in both 1986 & 1987 when I moved and watered it well.
Gallant Moment gave an F1 rebloom seedling (sporadic) for me.
In my area, moving this type of rebloomer is more likely to encourage
rebloom, rather than inhibit it.
