In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
" This daylily blooms in August. The flowers are rich orange and are larger and more conspicuous than those of H. multiflora, which is one of the parents. The scapes are about 3 feet tall and much branched. The plant is dormant in winter and will probably be hardy throughout northern United States. "
