Description

This cultivar produces large red blooms, 3.5 to 4.5 inches, with golden throat opening from maroon flower buds. The petals are broad oval with slightly pointed tip and slightly overlapping. The fragrance is medium and mild. The leaves are highly decorative, dark shiny green, broad elliptical with pointed tip and thin red line along margin. This appears to be grouped with several Thai cultivars in the description, including Tong Dtawan (compact, well-branching, 3-3.5 inches white to cream and pink), Tong Pan Chang (dwarf form), and Tong Pragkai Saet (3-3.5 inches radiant red-orange over yellow background with dwarf characteristics).
