UNIQUES
The late hybridizer, Francis Hartsook, crossed a vareity of Regals to ‘Old Scarlet Unique’ to get regal type plants that will perform well in the sun and heat. Her varieties do that – they are Bolero, Carefree, Hula, Polka and Voo Doo. The others listed below have been hybridized after these and I am not sure of their background and what they were hybridized with. Some I suspect have 'Oak' the scented leaf in their background.
