In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
" This daylily is somewhat like the B. H. Farr Daylily but is a taller plant that is later in blooming. The flowers are large, full, and widely spreading. The general color is a pastel or pale buff with delicate rose tints, the veins of the petals are darker, there is almost no eye-zone, and the throat is greenish yellow. The foliage is evergreen but the plants have suffered little or no winter injury at New York. A well grown plant stands from 3 to 4 feet tall. At New York the period of flowering is in July. The delicate coloring of the flowers is somewhat remindful of peach colors - a feature which suggested the name Georgia. "
