Is rebloom on the same fan as the initial scape or can it be on others? I have a few newer daylilies that have put up blooming scapes and after most of them have flowered I am seeing new scapes growing. The new scapes all seem to be on a different, mostly smaller, fans so not sure if the fans just matured enough to produce a scape or this is rebloom. I haven't experienced much rebloom here of any sort but have been buying more plants that say they are rebloomers.
Thanks for your help

I will be anxious to see some answers.

@paul2032. I must not have worded my question correctly. Guess we aren't getting any answers.

I think rebloom is when a scape forms on a fan that has already formed a previous scape. Here is a picture of what I think is instant rebloom on Alpine Mist (last year). You can see the more mature scape, then the smaller scape coming up right next to it in the same fan.

That's what I call rebloom. If a single fan blooms twice it's a rebloomer. I do think others may consider any blooms later than the first flush to be rebloom but sometime new fans form and send up scapes and to "me" this is not rebloom.

Valerie & Daniel above. The ADS dictionary seems somewhat vague on the subject of "reblooming" for a clump if new fans bloom the same year.

Great answers,,,,,,

The registration instructions say "Some daylily cultivars have more than one cycle of bloom during a single season. These are known as reblooming or recurrent daylilies. Some of these bloom early, have a rest period, and then rebloom. Others have a succession of bloom periods, one after another for several months."

I would interpret that as having nothing to do with the location of origin of the scape, just new scapes appearing from wherever when the previous ones were finished.

Maurice explained it the same way you did Sue. I initially thought the same as Valerie and others.

I was like Mike and at first I just felt that to be rebloom it should be on the same fan, but in a older thread after being educated by others I learned rebloom was also based on the increase of new fans in a clump which bloom and on older fans that send up extra scapes.

Interesting. I have been keeping records this year
And have had several with what I was calling late bloom, blooming on a scape from a fan that did not send up a scape with other fans. Guess I need to go back and change my records. I had some plants this year that half the plant did not scape. mature fans so don't know the reason unless due to hard freeze in spring. I have always just assumed that rebloom is from same scape. I love the knowledge I get from here

Hmm, okay so riddle me this. So is it rebloom when you have a clump where almost all fans send up scapes at the same time but then you have one fan that sends starts sending up a scape a couple of weeks later? I've had this happen this year (but never before). The first scapes have just finished blooming or have 1-2 buds left when the lagging scape starts to bloom. Whatever it is I like it because it extends the blooming season for that cultivar. But I just don't know what to call it. If it matters, the size of all the fans are about the same so I don't think it has anything to do with them growing large enough to produce a scape. They are also not new plants.

Edited to add: Same thing as what Nancy described. We were posting at the same time.

I'm not saying that Sue or anyone else is wrong but If anyone ever gets one of my future intros your rebloom will come from the same fans that bloomed previously and good increasers will be labeled as such.

Elena I call that instant rebloom

Would like to add that as a possible buyer, I would hope that a daylily listed as a rebloomer is actually rebloom from an original bloomed fan. Seems like the definition should be made clearer, and maybe why some of mine listed as rebloomers have never rebloomed?

Rebloom has always been a little confusing to me. But I think that if rebloom was only new scapes from fans that had previously bloomed there would be very few registered rebloomers (at least from the experience in my garden).
But I do know that there are early, mid-season and late bloomers etc., but that is based on the first bloom of the season, not on reblooms.
I often have scapes blooming, when new scapes show up, often they start blooming even while the first scapes are still blooming, and often they start blooming after the first scapes have bloomed out. Then in my garden this far south I will actually end up getting a series of rebloom scapes. I only have a very few registered late bloomers because I do end up getting so much rebloom even late in the season.
So one of the things that I really like about plants that multiply rapidly is the fact that they send up a lot of new fans and new scapes during the season. What I don't like about them is they have to be divided often. It took me a long time realize that if I wanted daylilies that sent up a lot of fans thus scapes during the season I needed to look for something in the description that the plant was a fast multiplier. It would be great to know which plants often send out more than one scape per fan.

Blue Jay tapestry is the best true rebloomer/instant rebloomer I own. It just pumps out scapes all season long on the same fans.

Spacecoast Tigertail Tango reblooms from the same fans but only send ups rebloom right after the first flush then sits there the rest of the year.

I'm looking for others to add to my program with good rebloom traits also. I have several seedlings I've been working with and waiting on my blue jay tapestry kids to start blooming to see if the trait is passed on. If anyone knows of any others that rebloom from the same fans please list them.

Daniel, I have a couple so far that are reblooming from the same fan. This is my very first year of getting instant rebloom! Maybe it's due to the much hotter than normal weather?

The two that are soon to rebloom are Carpenter Shavings (double, diploid) and Northern Splendor (tetraploid). Tani (diploid) may also be reblooming from the same fan but I have to check and see. I hadn't even noticed that scape until the second flower bloomed today!

I know for me it would be very hard to tell which fans have multiple scapes on them. If they were new plants they would probably not put out multiple scapes, and by the time they get two or three years old there are so many fans in the clump the new scapes on the same fan would not be noticed. How do you keep up with new fans on the same scapes?

I learned something new! I always learn so much on this forum
