I find the Summer paradise heat varieties good growers...they are tall with vibrant colours and hardy...I do mulch in the late autumn. They are planted in an exposed bed .

Thanks. We were looking for info on the taller ones like A. Tessa, A.Sirius and others of that sort of height.

I am no expert, but my experience is the same as yours with the dwarf ones. But two tall ones that grew really well for me were Indian Summer and Yellow Friendship.

other than the rampant Orange King and Indian Summer I have no luck at all, even ones in pots. So I have given up trying to grow them.
