Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense clumps 45 to 76 cm high. The leaves are palmately lobed, serrated, and bright green. A characteristic feature is the sturdy, dark flower stalks bearing dark red inflorescences with a white center, surrounded by burgundy bracts.

The flowering period lasts from early summer to early autumn. The variety is winter-hardy and prefers moist, well-drained soils and areas with partial shade. The variety is suitable for border plantings, woodland gardens, and cut flowers due to the long vase life of the inflorescences.
