Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Roswitha belongs to the group of bud-flowering heathers, in which the flowers practically do not open, which ensures high ornamental value of the sepals for a long time. The foliage of the plant is dark green.

The bush has a broad upright shape, reaching a height of about 40 cm and a width of about 55 cm. The deep lilac-red buds are capable of changing shades during development.

The plant is winter-hardy and resistant to autumn weather phenomena, such as rain, fog, and frosts. It is intended for use in group plantings, heather gardens, and container gardening.
