I am currently growing two in containers. These beauties overwintered in an enclosed porch, zone 5-Maine. They really are show stoppers. One took a hit with black spot and fungal issues during spring but has bounced beautifully. Get her while she’s hot😉
Forgot to add in my review of my new Hot Cocoa that she holds her color, blooms last a long time and we have had an intense heat wave this week. (Southeast Michigan)👏
Hot Cocoa was a big step outside my norm. WOW! I received her only 5 weeks ago and couldn’t plant for about 5 days due to heavy rains.. Heirloom has done it again. So strong and healthy . This is striking in color and looks exactly like the pictures they show. Just can’t believe all these blooms already. I love it and very pleased I tried something so different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
