This giant flower grows up to 8.3 feet (2.5 meters) tall. Its silver and orange-yellow stem is thin and splits into many branching stems a quarter of the way up, and the huge, silver leaves are slender, pointed with wavy edges. 23 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

3 to 9 giant flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 73 cm (28.7 inches) wide, with bronze petals and a drab green central disk. The flower head is made up of 9 petals in raised layers. They fall easily.

It has an intense scent that smells like onion, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to butterflies.
