Onondaga produces showy, large, individual, deep red, fertile flowers in bud and surrounded by white sterile flowers which contrast well with the purple foliage. They are fully to moderately frost hardy and are remarkably trouble free plants which grow to a height of 3 to 4.5metres tall. It grows well in any adequately drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position.
