I purchased this plant from G Wild in the Fall of 2020. I had an ok bloom in 2021, from July 27- August 29, with 9 blooms, which would indicate a Late bloomer.
However this summer, 2022, Fire King went crazy and produced over 40 blooms from July 1-24. So this year it was definitely Midseason.
It's a great looking bloom, so bright. The coloring is complicated up close, it's not just orange. There are brushes of lavender, rose and raspberry. It's also affected by temperature, showing a wide range of colors. I really like this plant.
