I know some of you grow S. greggii "Radio Red." I planted one a few weeks ago and it has bloomed, but last week we had a couple of bright sunny days...and the petals appear to have bleached. Has anyone else experienced this? If our temperate April sunshine can do this, what can I expect under our blazing June/July blast? Or is this normal aging?

First bloom April 11

April 15 after two or three bright sunny days, temps in low 70s
