Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches 0.9–1.5 m in height and width. Large dome-shaped inflorescences up to 14 cm in diameter have a saturated pink color, which acquires a greenish hue over time. Dark green foliage is complemented by stiff and strong stems, preventing the bush from lodging.

The variety blooms on current-season growth from mid-summer until frost and belongs to remontant forms. The plant is adapted to hardiness zones 3–9, tolerates various soil types well, and is suitable for cutting, landscape plantings, or container cultivation.
