Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches 35–45 cm in height with a bush diameter of 40–70 cm. The leaves possess high rigidity; the center has a glaucous-blue hue, and the margin changes color from golden-yellow in spring to creamy-white by the end of the season. Flowering with lavender bell-shaped flowers occurs in July–August.

The variety is frost-hardy, withstands climate zones 3–9, and exhibits increased resistance to slugs and snails due to the leaf structure. The plant prefers partial shade conditions; direct sun can damage the waxy coating, and full shade makes the foliage pattern less contrasty.

It is used in landscape design for decorating shade gardens, mixed borders, and container cultivation. The variety's leaves are suitable for use in bouquets.
