I have this and it grows like crazy, increases fast for me and the color glows across the yard. Flowers are always perfect, no splotchiness, and it blooms alot. I don't remember if it reblooms for me, will try to check that this fall. The blooms always open well for me.

I've had this for many years and it is a stunner. It was bought from the Seawrights back in the late 90s, who took over the Stevens program and hybridized with him for a while.The intense orange almost red blooms just seem to leap at the eye, the camera can't do it justice. But I try! I probably have more photos of this one flower in my yard than anything else. Always stunning, always strong and perfect, they have a long season. This year, 2021, Holiday Delight flowered from July 5th( my birthday!) to August 12th. It pumps out great sheets of flowers. A great garden plant.

2022, another good year for HD. Blooming from July 3- August 2nd, it laughed at the heat and drought. I finally dug some up to share with friends and make some room but there is still tons left!

2023, more of the same. Still prolific, still perfect, still searingly bright. HD bloomed from July 5- August 4.
