Early blooming SEMI-DOUBLE flowers are bright coral / neon-pink, 15cm (6”) in diameter, upward facing, and average two per stem. Guard petals are frilled and ruffled. Flowers possess on average two very hairy, green carpels with pink stigmas of normal anatomy. Stamens are between 1.25-2cm (0.5-0.75”) in length. Fertile both ways. Plants reach 86cm (34”) at maturity, and carry broadly pointed, green foliage with undertones of purple. Growth habit is upright with excellent stem strength; mechanical support is unnecessary.
