Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense upright bushes that do not produce active suckers. The basal zone is covered with palmatipartite dark green leaves. The flower stalks bear umbellate inflorescences, the main feature of which is large white bracts with greenish tips.

Flowering occurs during the summer period; a second wave is possible with timely pruning. The variety is distinguished by winter hardiness down to -20...-22°C and disease resistance. The plant requires moist, permeable, and nutrient-rich soils and tolerates soil drying poorly.

The variety is used in flower beds, rose gardens, and for edging woody plantings. It is suitable for use as cut flowers and as dried flowers.
