Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is an evergreen tropical shrub 1.2–1.5 m in height with an upright and well-branched habit. The flowers are large, featuring a color transition from orange to a pink or purple hue and bright purple stamens; the lifespan of a single flower is up to three days.

The variety is intended for landscaping or use in container arrangements. The plant is thermophilic, preferring full sun and USDA hardiness zones 9–11. In regions with cold climates, it is grown as an annual or as a potted crop with indoor overwintering.

The plant quickly reaches mature size in a single season and blooms on current-year shoots. With proper care, it is resistant to typical pests, however, it is sensitive to water stagnation, which can lead to root rot.
