The plant is a dwarf perennial with a dense, tufted, and spreading habit. The height of the plant is about 15 cm excluding inflorescences and up to 20 cm with them, the width reaches 28 cm. Small leaves have a glaucous-green shade, which darkens under intense sunlight.
Flowering occurs at the end of summer, in August and September. The buds resemble broccoli inflorescences, and the flowers are colored in a deep pink-purple. After flowering finishes, bright red seed heads are formed, which retain their appearance for several months.
The variety has high heat and drought tolerance and demonstrates resistance to diseases. Due to its low and compact growth habit, the plant does not lodge. Winter hardiness of the variety corresponds to USDA zones 4–9.
