In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
" The numerous medium-small flowers (3.5 inches in spread), of the branching, upstanding scapes are carried to a height of about 40 inches. Their color is almost uniformly a golden orange, of a shade between orange and cadmium-yellow (Ridgeway) and close to tangerine-orange (R.H.S.). At the New York Botanical Garden the climax in flowering for this daylily has been during the latter half of July. The habit of growth is much like that of H. multiflora and the group of the Summer Multiflora Hybrids, but this plant is taller and the flowers are somewhat larger, and the period of blooming is earlier than for H. multiflora. "
