I grew FIREWORKS DISPLAY years before Dottie named it. It has always been purple here. I would not have thought of it as red. I bought it as a non-selected seedling from the hybridizer sometime around 1985. I grew it for years, and finally talked her into coming and seeing it in a clump at my house. I gave her half of it back and she named it. We always called it - garden name - Dottie's Fireworks, so when she named it she kept the Fireworks part. It has been a FANTASTIC parent for me. If you grow it and you hybridize, try crossing it into things with Trahlyta in it.
