Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?

Question

I am a daylily lover. I have found that once the initial scapes finish blooming, no other scapes come up and, of course, no other blooms develope. So, why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
Who knows the answer?

Answer 1

i have been growing award winning day lilies for over 15 years. am also a master gardener with univ of Calif. so you can count on no spam or guess work from me. many of the hundreds of new day lilies coming out each year are called repeat bloomers because.... they repeat bloom. you were expecting me to say something different? day lilies have always been a single bloom cycle per season. bloom once and see ya next year. not any more. repeaters have 2, 3 and even 5 bloom cycles a year. especially hear in the west. i have a few that did 6 cycles last year. i had beautiful bloom thur Christmas. it's almost a shame to waste time with single cycle plants. but there are still many outstanding single cycle day lilies that are so wonderful, that the one time a year bloom is worth it. great, easy to grow, almost carefree plant. some purples and blood reds will knock your eyes out. check some out in your garden. you won't be sorry.

Answer 2

Because some are bred to rebloom-- sometimes later in the summer. Like fragrance-- some have it, some don't. Like size, some are 36 inches tall, others arent.
If you will google Missouri and daylilies-- you may get a breeder (whose name excapes me right now)- get their catalogue and it gives you the varieties and their blooming habits.
good luck

Answer 3

I think its because some types of daylily's will bloom again once they've finished blooming.

Answer 4

I believe they will come up year after year.
