Variety description

10 August 2026

The leaves of the variety are thick, heart-shaped or spear-shaped. The central part has an intense blue or blue-green color, complemented by a wide creamy-white margin, which can extend to the center of the leaf in the form of streaks. The height of the bush is usually 35–45 cm, reaching 50–60 cm including the flower stalks.

In July–August, the plant produces flower stalks with lavender-colored flowers. The variety is characterized by winter hardiness, resistance to Verticillium wilt and damage by slugs due to the dense leaf structure. It is used in landscape design for shady and semi-shady places, including container plantings.
