It was a rough growing season in South Carolina and while many hybrids struggled, we saw some bold item perseverance. 21-1820 and 21-1812 performed well under the pressures of unprecedented weather with heavy rains, drought, and heat all in one season. Several other hybrids also stood out in this trial; 22-1964, 22-1820i*, 21-1821i* and 18-1309 held strong and delivered.
