Most are in the three- to six-inch (8-15 cm) range. They are usually strongly banded or frosted with gray, white or bronze, and many cultivars have a pink to a red background color. The various hybrids show a rainbow of colors, and the most popular cultivars have very elaborate banding with sharp zigzag patterns.
