The variety is an evergreen azalea of the Encore Azalea group, obtained through the hybridization of Pink Cheer and Rhododendron oldhamii 'Fourth of July'. The plant forms a compact, dense, rounded shrub, reaching a mature height and width of approximately 90–120 cm.
Flowering occurs in spring and also resumes abundantly from mid-summer until the onset of the first frosts. The flowers are single, bright ruby in color. The plant tolerates more sun than many other azalea species and is intended for cultivation in regions with 7–10 hardiness zones.
Successful cultivation requires acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soils with a pH level of 5.5–6.5 and regular watering. The variety is suitable for the foreground and middle ground of flower beds, as well as for container gardening.
