Three Nice Rebloomers Today

3 years ago

A few more are reblooming now.

Blood of the Martyrs is my favorite purple. It's definitely not a black cranberry here. It has a third set of scapes going now. The first were cut off, and then I got rebloom. Now it's a second rebloom on both fans.

Armed to the Teeth reblooms some years. This cultivar can be a bit splotchy. Although the edge photographed white, it's really a cream that goes almost gold in some places.

Bat King is reblooming on short scapes. I hope the grubs haven't gotten to it.

Nancy - I am still evaluating the seedling. So far, it doesn't have enough buds to register (8 on the original bloom and the rebloom). I'll see what it can do when I move it to full sun. It's growing in part shade now. Maryl - The seedling is a midseason rebloomer. Last year it rebloomed in August and September too. Red Edition does have a real white edge with some gold in high temps. Debra

Jan, I am actually getting a few rebloom scapes this year too, and up until this year I didn't believe that many would rebloom here. (I have been heavy into daylilies for about 8 years, and the only reblooms I have seen before this year were on Swirling Spider and Stella). I am noticing that my scapes are coming up mostly on the newer introductions that have been in the garden for 3+ years, so maybe it isn't just a fluke of the year, and like Rita said, they had just needed time to get established before they would put up additional scapes. (Keeping my fingers crossed that this is the case!) Whatever the reason, it's great! Julie

Maryl, On Your Knees You Will Find Him is a nice shade of pink. The picture I posted shows one that isn't as flat as it usually looks. Here is a picture that is more typical. I just went out in the gator and found another one blooming. This is State of Happiness. It is a bit worse for wear as I took the picture at about 6 pm. This is its first year in the garden. I think it will be a nice one when it gets established. Nancy

Wow, Blood of the Martyrs Just doesn’t want to stop, three sets of scapes! It looks like today was “fantastic edge” day, all three are lovely. Does Batking open well all of the time???

Kate - Armed to the Teeth is like Private Selection here. Most of the blooms are splotchy, but when you get a clean one, it's a definite wow.

Celeste - I have several Emmerich purples, but I think Blood of Martyrs is the very best one I've seen.

Sherry - Yes, Blood of the Martyr wants to keep blooming. Who knows if it will ever do this again? It was likely heavily fertilized by Emmerich, and then it got fertilzed again by me. Bat King seems to open well, but sometimes it's splotchy. I don't like it as well as my other purple toothy cultivars. I bought it mainly for hybridizing reasons, but it has weak pollen and hasn't been able to keep a pod.

I can't decide from pictures how I feel about Emmerich's purples. So many of them have a dark color that just looks flat. Others are as she describes it, cranberry purple. 99% of the time purple here translates into maroon, so I'm not sure how any of them would work for me. I'll have to find room to trial a few some day. Yours are gorgeous Debra. I would welcome any of them into my garden if they looked like that..............Maryl

And all 3 gorgeous!

I was hoping for some rebloom this year but no. Well except the usual Stella and Happy Returns which are so short..

Nat - I do have some rebloom this year, but many of the ones that always rebloom for me have not this time. The seedling beds are the only ones I regularly water, and it's been very dry for most of the summer.
