It typically matures as a compact, rounded shrub to 6-8' tall and as wide. Showy flowers in axillary clusters bloom along the bare stems from mid- to late winter. Each flower has four, narrow, ribbon-like, straight, copper-red petals (each to 3/4\ long). Calyx is purple-red. Flowers have a mild fragrance. Rounded, dark green leaves (to 4î long) produce an often spectacular blend of oranges and reds in fall." (less)
