Variety description

10 August 2026

The compact, densely branched shrub reaches 1–1.5 m in height and width, with a rounded, spreading shape and arching branches. The foliage is ornamental: young leaves are bright green with a yellow margin, which turns creamy-white over time, and in autumn the foliage acquires a pinkish or purple-bronze hue.

The flowers are bell-shaped, fragrant, and white with a pink tint. The plant blooms on current-year growth from August to October.

The variety is resistant to heat, humidity, and salty sea air, and is rarely affected by diseases and pests. The plant is not fully winter hardy and requires a sheltered location in cold regions due to the risk of shoot frost damage.
