My Ruby Stellas exhibited instant rebloom while young. On and on again.
The divisions 7-8-10 years old are on, on again, and a late bloom. They still start to bloom when yellow Stellas are fading off their first big show. Few blooms as late as November last year. Not bad for running since the last week of June, not bad at all. It would be interesting to know the parent plants.
More a study than a fan but, there is a day coming where I use many of each in the same bed just to see what kind of show they can put on. One problem with Ruby is no AHS info as it's copyrighted instead of a listed hybrid. One DG post claims it's any generic small red the nursery needs to tag but I disagree. All I've grown (from 2 nurseries) exhibit identical traits. The bloom is almost 100% identical to "Pardon Me". Foliage, growth, branching, and bloom times convince me they're not one in the same.
They're fairly mundane as far as daylilies go but they do excel with age which I've found interesting compared to some varieties that prefer frequent division for best bloom/presence/effect.
