UF did fair here. It has withstood the drought, but bloomed late this
year and the heat seemed to cause the red to wash out some. My favorite
red, hands down, is Dynamite (Schreiner 1997). It is enormous and very
rich and velvety. All stems had at least three blooms open at once.
Unfortunately our local shows were two weeks too late :(
