Variety description

10 August 2026

The appearance of the variety is characterized by gray-green leaves with a bright silvery hue that persists for up to two months, and contrasting burgundy veins. The plant forms compact clumps, slowly spreading via rhizomes, and reaches a height of 30 to 60 centimeters.

The variety is resistant to diseases and pests and does not require supports to maintain its shape. For cultivation, areas in shade or partial shade with fertile, consistently moist, and well-drained soil are preferred. Propagation of the variety is carried out primarily vegetatively, through division of the clump.
