Variety description

10 August 2026

The cultivar is a dwarf bulbous plant with a height of 10 to 15 cm. Its flowers are distinguished by a delicate coloration: the standards have a creamy-white hue, and the falls are pale yellow, complemented by characteristic blue-indigo speckles or spots. The foliage is narrow, green, with its primary growth occurring after the flowering period ends.

The flowering of the cultivar occurs in early spring, in February–March. The plant is characterized as frost-hardy, prefers sunny areas with well-drained soils of neutral or slightly alkaline reaction, and is sensitive to water stagnation. The cultivar is used in ornamental gardening for planting in containers, rock gardens, and borders.
