Semi-Cactus · 8–10"RedGordon Leroux (1989)United States

One bloom fills the space of a dinner plate and holds a room's attention without trying. The color stays glossy true red from first crack to last petal, never fading to brick or pink in late summer heat. Competitive growers lean on this one for its repeat show record and its refusal to blink in a strong sun. It was bred in United States by Gordon Leroux in 1989.

Growing Kenora Wildfire

Stake early and stake well, because the heads are heavy and the stems travel to four and a half feet. Pinch at the fourth leaf pair to build side shoots, then disbud hard if you want full-diameter show blooms. Keep water steady through petal build, and cut in the cool morning when the center just starts to open.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
