I don't know if any red can handle the weather we've all had this past week. I grow most of my reds in shade and even they wilted this past week with the heat. I grow most of my plants in pots and the ones that get the most sun look terrible. The foliage looks like it was burned about half way of each leaf on alot of the pots. some look ok but they are struggling that's for sure.
I've had a bunch rebloom for me this year and I've really been pleased with that. I think they have really appreicated all the repotting last fall. The fertilize and alfalfa pellets probably had alot to do it with it too. Oh me, it'll be time to add more fertilize and pellets in just 2 short months. Ugh, I don't look forward to that.
Thanks Ann for the info on your plants. I really do like Lexington Lace and Cherokee Star. I'll be looking for them on the Auction, maybe someone will have them.
