Variety description
10 August 2026
The variety is a compact dense rounded shrub, reaching 100–150 cm in height and width. The evergreen foliage consists of 3–7 narrow elegant leaflets, colored bright golden-yellow on top and lime-green deep within the shrub; the leaves emit a scent when crushed.
Simple star-shaped pure white flowers possess a distinct citrus scent. The main flowering occurs in spring, with possible repeat flowering in late summer or autumn.
The plant is hardy to temperatures down to -18...-20 °C and is practically unaffected by diseases and pests. It prefers well-drained soils and a sunny location or light partial shade; it tolerates waterlogging poorly.
