I have had good luck with Laced cotton blooming every
year in Wyo but it has never rebloomed . I love the lace

I've had it for at least 10 years, not a prolific bloomer, and has never re-bloomed. I can say it;s pretty and very hardy.

This is beautiful (very ruffled and extremely laced) when it decides to bloom. I've tried it 3 different places over the last 14 years.
