The Jiuzhou Hongmei plant is 30cm-60cm tall with medium-wide leaves, leaf width about 0.5cm~cm, 4-5 leaves, upright and slightly arching, leaf sheaths slightly tinged with mottled green, compact plant form, robust and easy to grow; it blooms in late winter and early spring, one scape with one flower, the flower rises above the leaves, about 30cm tall; the three outer petals are the Fusoume type among plum-petal forms, the inner petals are the rare mussel-shell type among plum-petal forms, with a dragon-swallowing tongue; what is most remarkable is that the flower color is national-flag red, dazzlingly brilliant, and the more it blooms the more vivid it becomes, the older the more red.
