The plant forms upright bushes with sword-shaped bright green leaves. Large, wide-open flowers with an apricot-yellow throat are gathered into arched or branched spikes on sturdy dark bronze stems. The bush height reaches 80–90 cm with a width of 40–50 cm.

Flowering occurs from July to September or October. The variety is distinguished by vigorous growth, resistance to heat, humidity, soil salinity, and damage by pests such as deer and rabbits. Frost resistance is rated as high, down to -20°C under certain conditions.

The plant is used in landscape design for borders, group plantings, and container cultivation. Cut inflorescences retain freshness in a vase for up to two weeks.
