Variety description

10 August 2026

Deciduous upright branched shrub, reaching a height of 1.5–1.8 m with a crown width of 1.2–1.8 m. A distinctive feature is the variegated coloration: blue-green leaves have a creamy-white margin.

The plant blooms with soft pink double flowers on current-year shoots during the period from early to late summer. The variety is sterile, does not produce seeds, and is characterized by winter hardiness down to -20°C, as well as high resistance to heat and humidity.

Used as a specimen plant, in group plantings, mixed borders, for creating hedges, and for growing in containers.
