My current goal, for breeding better rebloomers in my garden, is to use a handful of good looking seedlings as pod parents. Two of my introductions, which I plan to use for this purpose, are 'All About Tranquility' and 'About Tomorrow.' 'All About Tranquility' is 'Chinese New Year' X 'Theme Master.' The color pattern is one of my favorites and the branching is very good. 'About Tomorrow' also has great form and branching. It is from 'Treasured' x 'Renown.'
2410 (Wilkerson seedlings) |
'2410'contained several tall seedlings with a variety of colors, white, purple, and bitone blue. 1624-01re
('Sweet Addiction) is ('Star Gate' x ('Bridge In Time' x ('Feed Back' x 'Titan's Glory))) X 2019-05
(Lunar Whitewash x Romantic Evening). Both seedlings used in this cross were white.
1907-10Re (Wilkerson seedling) |
This seedling is the strongest rebloomer from 1907 ('Blatant' x 'All Revved Up'). This cross produced several rebloomers, two summer bloomed. 'Cool Character' was introduced from this cross.
Rebloom breeding is more difficult than trying to improve a color or pattern. On the plus side, you are already dealing with strong, healthy plants. Always a good thing.
What would you use with these in an attempt to create good rebloom in the inner continental areas?
