Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an evergreen shrub with soft, velvety, pinnately dissected foliage of a silvery-green or gray-green shade. Plant height varies from 60 cm in container cultivation to 3 m when grown in open field. During the spring-summer period, the shrub produces small flowers, which are often hidden by dense foliage.

The plant is drought-tolerant, withstands light frosts, and is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. It prefers full sun and well-drained sandy or stony soils, and does not tolerate excessive moisture. The crop tolerates pruning well, which allows for shaping the crown, and begins to produce marketable greenery for arrangements 8 months after planting.
