In 2016, Kansas State University trialed more than 500 cultivars in the field and container trials. The heavy rains and cool temperatures in May, followed by a very hot and dry June, presented some environmental stress for many plants. July, August, and September were fairly average for the region, with high humidity and high temperatures that were mixed with occasional rainfall and cooler spells.
