The variety is remontant, flowering from July to September or October. Winter hardiness corresponds to zone 5, withstanding temperature drops down to –23...–25°C. When grown in acidic soils, inflorescences acquire a blue shade, and in alkaline soils — pink.

The variety is universal in its use, suitable for container cultivation, group plantings, and the creation of hedges. Depending on the color of the inflorescences, it may be sold under the names "Cotton Candy" or "Blueberry Cheesecake".
