Variety description
10 August 2026
The shrub has a rounded, compact form. The leaves are narrow, graceful, have a rich golden-yellow color at the tips of the shoots and a lime-green hue at the base; they emit a fragrance when crushed. During the winter period, the leaf color may become greener.
The flowers are simple, star-shaped, and pure white with yellow stamens. The main flowering period occurs from the end of April through June, with possible repeat flowering in late summer or autumn. The floral fragrance is reminiscent of a combination of orange blossom and almond scents.
The plant prefers sunny locations or partial shade and well-drained fertile soils; it does not tolerate waterlogging. The variety exhibits frost resistance down to -23°C (USDA zones 6). Pruning is recommended immediately after flowering ends.
