Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is an herbaceous shrub with dense foliage and trailing stems reaching 90–150 cm in length with a bush height of 15–20 cm. The leaves are bright lime-green in color, have a palmate-lobed shape with deep incisions, and often have a purple tint at the base.

The variety is a heat-loving perennial that is grown as an annual in most regions. It possesses high growth vigor and heat tolerance. Pale lilac-colored flowers appear under short-day conditions; however, the ornamental value is concentrated in the foliage, rather than in the tubers or flowering.
