This “Catawbiense” hybrid flowers mainly from May to June, with funnel-shaped, crimson-red to purple-red flowers with dark markings in the throat. The flowers are grouped in bunches.

It requires an acidic, moist, well-drained soil, which should never dry out completely, and requires little pruning and is very winter hardy.
