Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a densely branched shrub with a height of 80 cm to 1.5 m. The leaves have a pronounced luster; their color varies from green at the base to dark burgundy or chocolate depending on the season. Flowering is inconspicuous; berries may form on female plants.

The plant has high resistance to adverse factors, including strong wind and salty sea air, and also tolerates light frosts. The crop responds well to pruning, which allows it to be used for creating hedges, borders, or topiary forms.
