New bloomers and some rebloom!

Despite the weird weather experienced this season I have some reblooms already. Red Suspenders had its first blooms this season, now a perfect flower on a rebloom scape.

Coyote Moon has had a great season, so many buds. Here are a couple flowers on its Reblooms scape.

Pizza Crust had its first bloom today, it’s has tons of buds and scapes.

Sailor Sky had its first flower yesterday, had a poly bloom today. It’s going to have a good season. Took this photo after a brief shower.

This is my sort of clump shot of Real Wind. It’s growing in a really poor spot, you can tell by all of the shade plants around it.

Night Embers looks as though it will have the best season ever here. It’s not growing in the best spot but has more scapes and buds than past seasons.

Finally had some perfect blooms on When Pigs Fly, it’s had an iffy season, too many splotchy blooms.

A perfect bloom on Upgrade today.

Claudine’s Charm started a few days ago. First blooms weren’t great, looking better today.

Another bloom on Zuzu’s Treasure, I think it likes it here!

Debras seedling Chance Encounter x Never Been Kissed looks happy here again today.

You know, I have always like Real Wind. It is an oldie but one I think most of us wound up with it at some time or the other and your pictures are always so pretty. Sailor Sky is another one with nice color. Night Embers looks great in that clump photo. Red Suspenders is giving you a nice rebloom. And you are right-Upgrade does look perfect!!

New to Irises: Spring bloomers or rebloomers for zone 5?
Q
Comments (4)
Suttons catalog is one that lists what zones the rebloomers that they carry are known to bloom in. I'm located in zone 4b/5a, and personally I've only had one ever rebloom for me. It was one of the first iris I bought and was from Walmart, it was labeled as Coral Chalice, but I don't believe that was accurate. It looked more like Champagne Elegance but I can't be sure as it was several years ago and I don't have a pic. As Jain said I would just go for iris that appeal to you and if they are listed as rebloomers you never know, they may or may not rebloom, but either way you'll get a gorgeous flower.

How often do re-bloomers really re-bloom?

Rainbow, I start with 10-52-10 around the first to middle of June. If I remember to do it I fertilize about every two weeks until the first of November or until hard freeze. This may not work and will not be needed if you have rich soil. The soil in NE Mississippi on the hills is not rich at all. If there is not plenty of rainfall I also water as needed. I plant all my rebloomers close enough to the house that I can reach them with the water hose. I have three(Anxious, Immortality and Brother Carl) that have been blooming since June and the regular fall bloomers started late August. Except for about two weeks after the spring bloom I have had at least one iris in bloom since early March. If I get a few really late spring bloomers I think I can fill that gap. Lee Mincy

Rebloomers and new bloomers...

Hello Kristy, RC supplies bulbs from Hillegom, The Netherlands to Germany, and, possibly Finnland. YOUR bulbs will originate from another department of RC. I have little doubt, that "LaPango" is much cheaper to be produced than "Rosario". My "LaPango" survived two seasons of neglection, placed outdoors in summer, then rebloomed excellently, (as shown in "One More Cybister") after one season of husbandry indoors. The prices that RC charges for their bulbs are very similar, and certainly they do not reflect the prime costs from the wholesale-suppliers. My guess is that RC is/are increasingly humbugged by them.

Kay, thanks for your comments. Some of these clumps have really been great this year. Mantis, you are right about the purple fades. A trial one endures with reds and purples! Debra, Rich in Mercy has bloomed fairly well but it is not a fast multiplier. I do have a nice clump of it and of course you are welcome to it if you want some. It is planted next to Megillah which overwhelms it at times!

Claudine's Charm seems to be struggling here. Almost lost it last year, a fan survived, I thought it was doing well, then after it finished blooming it is yellowing. I will try it again in a different spot, I love it. Zuzu's Treasure is really pretty, and i love Upgrade. Sailor Sky is an amazing plant.

I agree with Kate about Real Wind. A unique older daylily. I grew it many years ago, and it unfortunately didn't hold it's pattern all that well, but early in the AM it was a beaut.....Night Embers interests me again. It always seems to have a nice double shape.....Sailor Sky never fails to look good in your garden and Debra's daylilies seem to enjoy your garden too............Maryl

How fun it is to see Zuzu's Treausure and the Chance Encounter seedling doing well in your garden! Your photos of Upgrade always impress me. I like the clump shots of Night Embers and Real Wind. I used to grow Real Wind. I always liked its colors, but it never grew very well for me. I can't remember if I sold it, or it just died in the shade.

All so pretty here!! Red Suspenders looks great. Rebloom? How nice! Oh btw I found one instant rebloom scape on Undercurrent the other day, yay. Pizza Crust is very pretty late. I love the look of Real Wind, I too have some oldies in the shade with hostas lol When Pigs fly is really bright. Love Claudine's Charm and Upgrade looks very dramatic. Zuzu's Treasure is so round and cute!

So many nice ones, Sherry. Claudine's Charm, Zuzu's Treasure, the Chance Encounter seedling, Sailor Sky and Red Suspenders are all so very pretty.
