In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
"
This daylily has a rich crimson-red coloring (near Morocco red of Ridgway), with conspicuous orange throat, and a Wau-Bun type of flower shape but somewhat less full.
It is a seedling obtained from Wau Bun x Red Bird that first flowered well in 1936, when it was admired and its selection requested by Mrs. Gifford Pinchot.
The scapes stand erect to a height of 3.5 feet. Flowering period begins in late June. The foliage is evergreen.
