Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms compact tussocks of narrow, arching, drooping leaves colored green with cream edges. The bush reaches 70–80 cm in height, and during the summer flowering period, inflorescence stems up to 1.5 m rise above it. The inflorescences are loose, drooping panicles about 30 cm long, which change color from pale green to cream or straw.

The plant is intended for ornamental use as a solitaire, in borders, gravel gardens, and container culture. The variety is resistant to wind loads, arid conditions, and soil salinity. It grows well in sunny or semi-shaded areas with drained soil; in regions with cold climates, it requires protection.
