Re: TB: Sultan's Palace, with photo


I too have grown Sultan's Palace in the past, as well as Warrior King, Red at Night, Infrared, and Dynamite.
 
Here, in the Arizona Desert Sultan's Palace (though I have no photo, just notes on this one) had a strong bronze influence to it.  Red at Night was not that red either - not really.  Infrared has more of a blue/purple/maroon tint to the red.  For me - -Warrior King looked the most red to me - but - alas - - very poor substance.
