The object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, red-hued star with an apparent [visual magnitude] of 5.27. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −36 km/s, and it is predicted to come as close as in around 4.3 million years.
This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M1 III, currently on the asymptotic [giant branch]. It has expanded to about 68 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 967 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of. 64 Draconis forms a faint naked-eye pair with 65 Draconis away. The latter is a suspected variable with a brightness range in the Hipparcos photometric filter of 5.29 to 5.33.
