Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an ornamental shrub with a height of 0.5 to 1.5 m and a width of up to 2.5 m. The leaves are glossy green with a distinct creamy-white margin. The plant is prone to reversion, where fully green foliage appears on individual shoots, requiring removal.

Flowering occurs from late spring to early summer. The variety is drought tolerant once established, while frost resistance is limited to the range of -5°C to -10°C. The plant has a spreading growth habit and is used in landscape design for single or group plantings, as well as for container cultivation.
