Slow to medium-growing shrub that can grow into a small multiple-stemmed tree. At first it is upright but spreads with age. It becomes as high as it spreads. Young foliage is strikingly glossy dark green. In summer it becomes duller.
The first flowers appear with the leaves. As the flower buds are not produced before the winter but at the same time as the leaves, they are less susceptible to night frost in severe winters. The flowers are narrowly goblet-shaped, circa 12 cm long and 5 cm wide. The flower buds are dark red to purple, once opened, purple red on the outside and light purple pink to nearly white on the inside. The main flowering is in May and June but the flowering is more or less perpetual and can extend until the end of September. One of the best for zone 4
