ASP.NET MVC DisplayFormat for Hour

I have the following TimeSpan variable in my Model class:

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:HH-mm}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public TimeSpan StartingHour { get; set; }

But when I call it from my View I got the error:

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.StartingHour)

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

The value of the variable is: "18:00:00".

What should be in my DisplayFormat initialization? And please keep "get hour and minute separately from the time" advices to yourself.
