I thought it would be appropriate for us to benchmark those we have that held up really well with the hot weather and lack of natural rain watering, particularily here in the Central Midwest. Here are the commercial ones I have who's heat tolerance was nothing less that purely outstanding. Anyone else who observed outstanding performers, please add to to this thread.
#1. ICE FOLLIES
#2. SEAFARER
#3. TROPICAL ISLE
Surprized? So was I.
#4. PAULA MARIE
#5. TEMPERATURE ILLUSTRATION
These are the ones I considered outstanding because they seemingly were not even bothered with the heat and blistering, bright sun and a blustery hot breeze. Edit added: In general, I noticed that from cultivar to cultivar and from plant to plant, the older, larger plants were more affected than the younger, smaller ones, accross the board.
