That picture was probably taken in late Sept. or early Oct. It holds up well in the heat. I never had any bug problems with it. I don't know about drought because it was in a pot and got water when all the others did. I never had broken branches from rain or wind. It is this color all of the time, I think. You are asking me to tax my memory and that isn't easy these days. I can't answer your question about new shoots because mine didn't send up new basal shoots, but you can see little side shoots at the bottom of the plant that sent out buds and blooms.

I have to say that Inca Sun blooms much heavier than Tuffy does, but I think Tuffy might have more aurea in her. Her blooms are a little more horizontal or nodding and they are definitely more yellow than Inca Sun. Last year wasn't a good test year for Tuffy at my house. I'll give her a little more tender loving care this year and see what she does for me. This is Tuffy this last summer. After the first of July, she wasn't cared for other than water to keep her alive. She continued to bloom tho.
