A very large cultivar with brown arching stems from which the coarsely serrated (toothed) mid-green leaves hang.   The large open flower heads have well separated sepals on the infertile florets. At the end of the season they hang down on long pedicels (stalks) and the back of the sepals are mottled with a deep cherry red where they have been in the sun.
