Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant reaches a height of 40–60 cm and forms elegant, arching stems. The main ornamental value lies in its variegated silver-white and green leaves, which acquire pinkish-purple shades with the onset of cold weather.
Flowering occurs in April–May with small cream-white or yellowish bell-shaped flowers, after which shiny blue-black berries may appear. The crop is hardy and prefers shady or semi-shady locations with moist, humus-rich soil.
The variety is used in landscape design for mass plantings, border edging, container cultivation, and woodland gardens.
