Variety description

10 August 2026

Perennial plant reaching 40–55 cm in height and forming clumps 60–90 cm in diameter. Foliage is bright green, narrow, and textured. Large velvety flowers 3.8–5 cm in diameter have a purple-red hue with a bright yellow center; in hot weather, cream-white streaks may appear on the petals.

Flowering continues from early summer to autumn. The variety is sterile, does not require deadheading, and possesses high resistance to powdery mildew. The plant withstands the conditions of hardiness zone 5, tolerates heat, humidity, and short-term drought.

The variety is suitable for cut flowers and landscape use in flower beds, borders, and container plantings. When grown in highly fertile soils, pruning of shoots in mid-summer is recommended if the clump falls apart.
