In the introduction year, A.B. Stout described it as:
" The dominant flower coloring of this seedling approaches vermilion-red with a somewhat deeper shade in the mid-zone. Several selections of this particular class for color have been under evaluation for several years. This is the first of these that is now ready for introduction. The foliage is evergreen; the scapes stand about 3 feet tall; and the season of flowering is in July. In the ancestry of this plant are H. flava, H. aurantiaca, H. fulva clone Europa, and three different wild plants of H. fulva including the Rosalind Daylily. "
