Some like Stella De Oro ( a small almost orange yellow) and Penny's Worth
a tiny clear yellow) bloom most of the summer here with new bloom stalks
coming one after the other. These are great border plants with Penny's
Worth only getting about 10 inches tall and Stella getting 12-15 inches.
Most of my plants are more of an extended bloom than a rebloom. They
continue to put up bloom stalks for a longer time. I don't have any that
completely stop blooming then put up additional bloom stalks for a rebloom
period.
I have tried to get plants from each bloom season ( early, early- mid,
midseason, mid-late or late-mid, and late season) that are labeled as
rebloomers. I think this is the best way to extend the bloom as long as
possible. I also choose a fragrant one over one not listed as fragrant all
else being the same.
