Hi Debra
I found 3 that are listed as hardy to -25, but are not listed as heat
tolerant. I have found that as long as you don't get long periods over 100F,
the ones that aren't heat tolerant will do alright.
Here is what I found.
Caractacus
Ignatius Sargent
Red Brave (listed as Sun Tolerant)
The most hardy heat tolerant varieties that I found are only hardy to -15.
