Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a rounded, well-branched shrub with sturdy stems, reaching 80–150 cm in height in the open field or 40–60 cm in containers. Young foliage has a purple hue, which transitions to green by summer.

Inflorescences are large, dense, and spherical, with a diameter of about 20 cm. Sepals are creamy-white with a purple margin that turns pink upon opening; in acidic soil, they may acquire bluish shades. Flowering lasts from July to September on the previous year's shoots and the current year's shoots.

The variety possesses sufficient resistance to diseases and frost hardiness down to -15°C...-20°C. It is used in landscape design and is suitable for group plantings, borders, container cultivation, and cut flowers.
