In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
"
This is an outstanding daylily for medium-large full flowers with rich red coloring in a concentric three-toned pattern.
Outside of a throat that shades into orange the sepals and petals are garnet-brown with a darker mid-zone that approaches maroon in the petals.
The foliage is semi-evergreen. The scapes rise to 40 inches.
The main season of flowering has extended from June 21 until the middle of July but there has been a second period of less profuse and rather irregular bloom
which has extended from mid-August until severe freezing temperatures in November.
"
