  • War Chief is always dramatic in my yard, tall and straight and drawing many appreciative comments from the neighbors. -- BettyAnnGunther - 22 May 2010
  • I grew War Chief in Zone 10B. It just bloomed 3/25/24 - very early, probably because of my climate. It is really blood red and the color is very saturated. The style arms and beards are very golden. -- OrchidG42 - 26 Mar 2024
  • Re Zone 10B 3/25/24 bloom- forgot to mention that so far, 5 buds, the stalk is short about 22 inches but it could still be growing. Los Angeles, CA 90066, full sun, planted very late - 1st week of November last year. ] -- OrchidG42 - 26 Mar 2024
