This newer selection seems to tolerate heat very well in my first year of experience. Out of 40+ nearby cultivars, this variety withheld record breaking temperatures in South Carolina (3 weeks straight of 100+ degrees F) with no burning. Some dissectums were completely defoliated and even mature hardy green cultivars experienced tip burn, but this variety (even in a 3 gal can) came through completely unscathed.

On a side note I believe this is a patented cultivar, selected by Dr. Dirr of UGA for heat tolerance and vigor.
