It is generally a biennial herb producing an erect stem approaching 1.5 meters in maximum height. It is roughly hairy in texture, the hairs with reddish blistering or glandular bases. The crinkly leaves are hairless except at the edges and are up to 15 centimetres long. The inflorescence is a showy spike of many large flowers which open in the evenings and stay open until midday next day. When in bud the long red sepals are visible. When in bloom each flower has four bright yellow petals up to 5 centimetres long which fade orange to red with age. The fruit is a lance-shaped capsule 2 or 3 centimetres long. | It is generally a biennial herb producing an erect stem approaching 1.5 meters in maximum height.
