Attractive, large cream-colored flowers are displayed with the ray florets having a burgundy red eye zone and burgundy red suffusion throughout the ray florets during cooler growing conditions. The green foliage coloration contrasts nicely with the lighter blossom coloration. Excellent resistance to powdery mildew has been displayed during observations to date. The plant is a perennial and has been observed to be hardy to at least U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zone No. 5.
