Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant reaches a height of 20–40 cm. The leaves have a multi-colored coloration, combining green, yellow, cream, and pink-red shades. When crushed, the foliage emits a specific aroma. Flowering occurs from May to August with spike-like inflorescences of small yellow flowers with white bracts.
The variety prefers good lighting, under which the leaf coloration becomes brightest, while in the shade it becomes predominantly green. The plant belongs to USDA winter hardiness zones 4–10. The variety is considered undemanding, however, an excess of nitrogen in the soil negatively affects its overwintering.
