Variety description

10 August 2026

Spreading shrub with a dense, rounded crown 1.5 to 2.5 meters in height. Shoots are sturdy, light brown in color, and do not require staking under the weight of the inflorescences. Leaves are bright green, velvety, oblong-oval in shape with finely serrated edges.

Large, dense inflorescences of broadly conical shape reach 30 cm in length. Flowering begins in mid-July and lasts until October. The color of the inflorescences at the beginning of flowering is greenish-lime, then lightens to creamy-white, and by the end of the season acquires a pinkish-beige blush.

The variety has high winter hardiness (USDA zone 4) and resistance to air pollution. Suitable for single and group plantings, creating hedges, and use as cut flowers for dried floral arrangements.
