Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a triploid obtained as a result of crossing two seedlings. The shrub has a rounded shape and reaches a height of 1.2–1.5 m. The shoots possess high strength, which allows them to support the weight of the large inflorescences.

The flowers are gathered in spherical inflorescences, the sepals have a bicolored coloration: light pink on top and a more saturated pink on the bottom, with the shade potentially lightening or acquiring a green tone over time. Flowering occurs on current-year shoots.

The variety is hardy, adapts well to growing conditions, and tolerates both partial shade and full sun with regular hydration. Annual pruning in late winter or early spring is recommended to form large inflorescences and stimulate growth. It is used in landscape design and container cultivation.
