Susan, so I see that you are after reblooming daylilies, right?

There are a lot of factors for those that rebloom (so I have observed and studied)

They need very good growing conditions:

Water regularly

and nutrition.

They need to bloom early enough in the season for them to take a rest AND put out the energy to rebloom.

They need the warm temps later on to completely open.

They need to have the genetics to rebloom.

Here, for me, almost nothing reblooms. Our season starts later than just 20 miles inland (I am on the ocean) and our fall season is late but cooler so that even 'late' daylilies often do not open well and presents a bloom only half open.

Hope this helps in your decision making.
