Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety features single, soft apricot-colored flowers with a yellow halo and a dark center. A distinctive characteristic is its decorative foliage, colored from dark burgundy to almost black. The plant height varies from 60 to 90 cm.

The plant flowers from summer to late autumn, is resistant to diseases, and maintains its shape well without requiring support. The variety is suitable for cut flowers, container cultivation, and borders, and it attracts pollinating insects. In cold climate conditions, it requires digging up and storing tubers in a frost-free room.
