Aptly named, it produces 5-5½", russet red-orange (some describe it as chestnut) blossoms with a deep burgundy eye and gold throat atop strong, well-branched and budded scapes.  The broad, rounded, ruffled petals open wide to reveal the perfect flower form.  It’s even fragrant!  A highly attractive daylily not to be missed!

Dormant tetraploid. Extended bloom.

Characteristics (Compared to Other Daylilies)
