Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a compact mound 15–20 cm wide. The leaves are small, measuring approximately 8–10 cm long and 3 cm wide, with a slight waviness along the margins. During the season, the leaf center lightens to almost white, and the margin acquires a distinct blue-green hue.

Flowering occurs in early to mid-summer, accompanied by the appearance of lavender bell-shaped flowers on scapes with a creamy-yellow tint. The cultivar prefers shady or semi-shady areas with moist, well-drained, humus-rich soils.

The plant is resistant to air pollution and Verticillium wilt, but is susceptible to damage by slugs and snails. Due to its small size, the cultivar is recommended for planting in containers or in the foreground of mixed borders, where it is protected from competition with larger species.
