Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is compact and branches well, with dark green foliage. The inflorescences are about 10–15 cm in diameter, featuring lemon-yellow petals and a contrasting dark brown center.

The variety is early-maturing; flowering occurs 11–12 weeks after sowing and continues from May to October. The plant is undemanding and tolerates limited soil volume well with regular watering and sufficient lighting.
