Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a compact bushy habit with upright shoots. Height reaches 30–50 cm, width is 30–60 cm. Leaves are small, scale-like, dark green in color.

Flowering is very long due to the fact that the flowers remain in the stage of tight buds. The variety is light-loving, prefers acidic, loose, moderately moist, and humus-rich soils. Maintenance includes annual spring pruning.

The variety is resistant to diseases and urban conditions. Frost resistance reaches -26°C, although covering is recommended during cold winters. Used for landscaping, creating compositions, and container cultivation.
