Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a compact, rounded shrub reaching a height of 90 cm and a width of up to 80 cm. The leaves are spirally arranged and have a characteristic variegated color, creating a visual striped effect. During the spring-summer period, inflorescences of cream-colored bracts with a greenish center are formed.

The variety is thermophilic and tolerates drought well after establishment, but is sensitive to waterlogging of the soil in the winter period. Due to the presence of toxic sap, caution should be exercised when working with the plant, and protective gloves should be used.
