Intense color is the hallmark of this flower. The perianth has a definite orange cast which sets off the dark red corona with an even darker red rim. The color code for this is 2O-RRR. A striking bit of early color with reasonable show quality. First introduced in 2011.
This is one of the best red cups I have grown in Southern California. It screams to one from across the garden. Only get a hint of the red in the perianth but the corona is darker than anything else I have ever flowered.

This is going on my wish list.
