This upright growing plant is covered with large, wavy margined leaves. Pyramidal trusses hold bright red blooms that shade to pink and become almost pure white at the center. A yellow dorsal flare is delicately spotted yellow-green to provide added interest. (maximum 'Mount Mitchell' x ['Mars' x 'Fanfare'])
