Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a compact plant with a height of 40 to 50 cm, although under certain conditions the parameters may vary from 30 to 70 cm. The foliage is lacy, glossy, and dark green in color, forming a dense bush. The inflorescences have a rhombic or conical shape and are distinguished by their density, fluffiness, and saturated dark pink color.

Flowering of the variety occurs in June–July, sometimes continuing until August. The plant possesses high growth vigor, winter hardiness within zones 3–8, and resistance to lodging due to sturdy flower stalks. It prefers moist, fertile soils and placement in semi-shaded areas.

The variety is intended for landscape design, including single and group plantings, mixed borders, and landscaping around water bodies. Suitable for cutting.
