Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a decorative botanical plant. Externally, the flower is characterized by a golden-yellow primary color of the petals with orange or brown accents at the base. The plant is distinguished by its compact size, reaching 10–15 cm in height, and has narrow grassy foliage.

The variety belongs to the early-flowering group; flowering occurs in February–March. The plant is winter-hardy, undemanding, does not require annual lifting, and is capable of spreading to form dense clumps. It is used in landscape design for planting in rock gardens, borders, and containers, and also serves as an early source of nectar for insects.
