Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is an evergreen bush, slow-spreading via rhizomes, 25 to 40 cm tall. Leaves are narrow, long (up to 6 inches), with spiny edges. When they appear in spring, they have a bronze or burgundy-brown shade, later turning olive-green.

Flowering occurs in April-May. Small sulfur-yellow flowers of "spider-shaped" form are gathered in loose inflorescences located above the foliage. The variety is a vigorous and hardy hybrid with drought tolerance, adapted to USDA hardiness zones 5–8.

Used as a decorative groundcover plant for shade gardens, woodland areas, and container cultivation. Maintenance consists of removing old foliage before flowering begins.
