In other words, the flower buds require a certain amount of chilling before they break out of dormancy to open their flowers. Cool nights &#8211; like we&#8217;ve enjoyed recently &#8211; can provide enough chilling to cause plants to bloom out of their &#8220;normal&#8221; sequence.

In general, the earlier the plant flowers in spring, the fewer chilling units it requires to bloom. Plants such as magnolia and some rhododendron commonly rebloom sporadically in summer and into the fall. There are some cultivars of rhododendron and other species that have been cultivated specifically for their ability to rebloom like this. Similarly, some herbaceous perennials (such as iris and daylily) may also rebloom outside their expected sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor for some plants is that the flower buds they initiate in late summer do not develop the proper plant growth inhibitor hormones that normally keep the buds dormant. In such cases, autumn warm spells can induce these flower buds to open.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although blooming out of sequence may reduce the total amount of bloom for the following spring, it is not harmful. Usually, there are still plenty of buds left to provide a spring show.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is that crabapple doing reblooming in October and November?
