Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms neat clumps 25 to 50 cm in height. The leaves are linear, arching, with a characteristic 'vanilla' margin. From March to June, the variety produces inconspicuous brownish spike-like inflorescences.

The variety is a reliable ornamental crop, resistant to lodging due to its dense turf. The plant is suitable for creating borders, mixed borders, container gardening, and planting in semi-shaded areas under tree canopies.
