I'm not sure if red differs from older green/silver ones for bloom time, but my old green/silver one (commutatum or Silver Queen)is blooming now (indoors now but was out for summer). I have both of the red ones shown here (or similar two cultivars- can't be so sure when mine wasn't labeled). My Siam Red style one has struggled, but that might be just this individual that I got on clearance. The Black Cherry (or like) has been happy, and pretty, sold for the same price as some common as dirt other plants.
