Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a compact shrub with a dense round or oval crown 100–120 cm tall, rarely up to 150 cm. The lacecap-type inflorescences have a flat shape 10–15 cm in diameter, where small fertile flowers are surrounded by a ring of larger sterile flowers.

Flower color varies from pink or lilac on neutral and alkaline soils to bright blue on acidic soils. Deep green leaves turn a crimson or bronze-red shade in autumn.

Flowering lasts from June to September. The shrub demonstrates good winter hardiness, withstanding frosts down to -23...-25°C under light cover, and is resistant to diseases and pests. The variety is suitable for solitary and group plantings, creating hedges, and container cultivation.
