Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches a height of 60–120 cm and has a characteristic deeply lobed leaf shape, the color of which varies from dark green to dark purple. Large funnel-shaped flowers have a neon-pink or lavender-lilac hue with a reddish center and wavy petal edges.

The variety blooms from late summer until the onset of frost and possesses high resistance to diseases such as leaf spot, powdery mildew, and root rot. The plant tolerates fluctuations in moisture and is suitable for cultivation in flower beds and containers.

The flowers are sterile and do not set seeds, therefore propagation is carried out exclusively by vegetative means through division of the bush or cuttings. The variety demonstrates frost resistance in the range of USDA zones 4–9.
