Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms neat, dense mounds of glaucous foliage that remains ornamental throughout the year. The height of the leaf cover is about 20 cm; with flower stalks, the plant reaches 30 cm.

The plant blooms with bright pink fragrant flowers with fringed edges and light-colored areas on the petals. The flowering period lasts from mid-spring to early autumn with regular removal of faded flower stalks.

The variety possesses high frost resistance and drought tolerance. Cultivation requires sunny areas with well-drained soils; excess moisture can lead to root neck rot.
