hardiest
Least likely wilting
Hardiest is the superlative form of hardy—the most robust, resilient, or able to endure difficult conditions.
Plants described as hardiest can survive the harshest winters.
People called hardiest show the greatest capacity to withstand physical or emotional strain: Only the hardiest hikers attempted the summit in January.
