It has oval shaped, sticky and hairy mid-green leaves and produces gramophone-trumpet-shaped, pale yellow flowers with rich yellow veining that are around 4-5 cm across. An early flowering compact variety with slightly smaller flowers that blooms from late spring well into autumn if dead-headed and well fed.
