Remontant: [ri-mon-tuhnt] adjective, blooming more than once in a season.
I have been growing reblooming (i.e., remontant) perennials for over twenty-five years. First were daylilies, and then came roses, hydrangeas, azaleas, viburnum, and bearded iris. This week’s Vase on Monday features three remontant bearded iris from my garden: ‘Clarence’ (lavender). ‘Immortality’ (white). and ‘Sunny Disposition’ (pale yellow).
They don’t bloom so prolifically the second time around, but it brings great joy to see them blooming in October.
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see her vase this week and all the others around the blogosphere who join her each week.

Great to see your re-flowering Iris John. I have immortality but it has only re-flowered once in all the time I’ve had it.

I would love to say that I have had full reblooms each year, but that hasn’t been my experience. I’m just grateful for what does show up in the fall.

It’s nice to see flowers other than mums this time of year. I like simple arrangements sometimes, too. I make lovely simple arrangements with lilies.

Beautiful and perfect for the house!
They seem out of place blooming in the fall here. With the falling leaves and frosted annuals I just feel bad for them trying so hard.

I really am happy to have the iris in bloom any time of the year.

Very pretty, and such pale and subtle colours – do they look a little out of place in your autum garden. John? As you say, we can be grateful for all our blooms at this time of year
