Funny, I never noticed the reliability comments in the Description section. I guess I am just a numbers guy. Here is what caught my eye (RIS 2012 checklist):
States rebloom reported: AR, AZ, CA, GA, ID, KY, MA, MD, MI, MO, MT, NE, NM, NY, OK, OR, SC, TX, VA, WA, WV, Australia, Netherlands, Switzerland 
USDA Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Nice to have more than magic keywords to ponder. So I am not surprised to see it bloom in the fall in my z6b garden in 2013 and 2014 off a 2012 planting. Now if we could get the "one in twenty yrs in z4" kinda stuff folded in we'd be cooking with gas.

Violet Music is an unreliable late cycle rebloomer here, not an all summer long rebloomer like offspring Oxmoor Hills. Maybe summers are too hot for VM to bloom earlier here.
I'm surprised to hear you say that about Victoria Falls. I'd always heard that it was sporadic everywhere.
The Rebloom Checklist says "reblooms, but not reliable in any part of the country". Which is probably where I got the idea that it doesn't rebloom consistently anywhere.
Please share any consistent rebloom geographic info for VF with Robin Shadlow, so she can alter that statement. thanks.
