Large ball-shaped trusses are a dark blood red with a glossy appearance. Large, dark green foliage is wavy on the edges.

The trusses are a fantastic blood red, perfectly shaped, and look to be made of glistening wax. The foliage is quite large and has an unusual roll to the edges of the leaf, particularly in winter. ('Mars' x eriogynum)
