Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a compact shrub 60–120 cm tall with upright shoots. The leaves are dark green, serrated, with a glossy surface. The globose inflorescences reach 15 cm in diameter and consist of double flowers.

The petals have a soft pink color with a white edge; however, in acidic soils, the inflorescences can acquire a blue hue. The variety is remontant, providing flowering from summer to autumn.

The plant is adapted for cultivation in partial shade and requires fertile and drained soil. It is characterized by resistance to lodging, heat, and frost down to -28°C, which allows it to be used for solitary plantings, borders, and container gardening.
