Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a dense rosette of dark green serrated leaves. Erect flower stalks are highly branched and bear bell-shaped, widely opened flowers of bright orange-yellow color with pinkish-purple shades. The height is 40–80 cm.

The variety is characterized by a long flowering duration (up to 6 months) due to the absence of seeds. It is a semi-evergreen perennial with resistance to fungal diseases, such as rust and leaf spots. It is used in ornamental gardening, for containers and cut flowers.
