I would like to know how Leonidas grows for you. I am in zone 7b in Alabama.
What size bush should I expect? What is growth pattern upright or bushy and spreading?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Nancy,
Leonidas grows beautifully here on the FL Gulf coast (9b). In the intense FL summer heat, it is brilliant orange with yellow reverse pictured top row #4. In milder weather, it is the more characteristic burned sienna w/cream reverse. It is a very prolific bloomer. No problems with blackspot. It does attract whiteflies, and a few aphids. Shrub size is about 3½ x 3½. It is planted between the salt water canal and the swimming pool. I have posted another photo of the blooms for March 1. The colors are about midway between the two extremes.

My Leonidas is a compact bush. It looks great in front of tall teas.
