Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a wide, dense, and compact bush 25–30 cm in height and 30–40 cm in diameter. Foliage is light green. The variety possesses good winter hardiness (USDA zones 5–6) and high resistance to fungal diseases.

Flowering occurs in September–October. The buds are white, large, and do not open fully, which allows for maintaining decorative appeal in adverse late autumn weather conditions.
