Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant reaches 60–90 cm in height and 40–50 cm in width. Narrow leaves can acquire a purple hue during the winter period. Flowering usually occurs in March–April, during which short peduncles are formed.
The variety is intended for decorative use in landscape design, including xeriscaping. The plant prefers well-drained, calcareous soils and sunny locations, and is characterized by high drought tolerance and frost resistance within USDA zones 7a–8b.
The stems contain poisonous milky sap. To maintain appearance after flowering, it is recommended to carry out hard pruning of the stems.
