It has oval shaped, sticky and hairy mid-green leaves and produces velvety, gramophone-trumpet-shaped, rich red flowers around 4-5 cm across. An early flowering variety with smaller flowers that blooms from late spring well into autumn if dead-headed and well fed. It trails or spreads around 30 cm to 40 cm so is ideal for hanging baskets and containers.
