Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms dense crested inflorescences with a diameter of 9.5–10 cm in a pink-purple-red color with a yellowish tint. The plant's leaves are elongated, with a pointed tip and a wavy margin. Plant height ranges from 71 to 102 cm under professional greenhouse cultivation.

The period from transplanting to harvest readiness is 10–14 weeks. The variety is sensitive to environmental conditions: a lack of heat or errors in agrotechnics may lead to stunted growth and deformation of the inflorescences. The use of supports is often required to obtain quality stems.

The plant is intended for use in floristry; cut flowers tolerate drying well. Under adverse open field conditions, plant development may be significantly suppressed, potentially resulting in the formation of a single stem without side shoots.
