*HEARTS  OF  FIRE

*HEARTS OF FIRE (Stamile,P.,1999) TET T-5429-A  (Ebony Jewel x Aramis) 30” MRe. Ev. fr.  EMO.  6 1/4” x 2 3/4”  x 1 3/4”.  4 - 5 way branching.  28 - 36 buds.  Brilliant cerise red with a lacquered grass green throat best describes HEARTS OF FIRE.  The blooms are wide, round and full with heavy ruffling for a red on both the petals and sepals.  Substance is excellent.  The sun resistance is as good as any red in the Florida sun.  There is no fading but when temperature and humidity are high flowers will show some damage at mid afternoon but recover nicely later in the day. This is a red that is exceptional for brilliance and clarity of color.  Amazingly, it is not a ruby or blood red despite coming from EBONY JEWEL and ARAMIS - both deep dark reds.  HEARTS OF FIRE has a nice velvety texture.  My most used red parent and a great parent for green throated reds.  Easily fertile both ways………..$100.00
