Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense clumps of dark green leaves, reaching a height of 50 to 90 cm. Inflorescences have a characteristic "poker" shape; upon opening, the bright red-orange color of the flowers changes to peach-yellow shades, creating a two-tone effect.

The variety is repeat-blooming: flowering begins in June-July and continues until October, provided that spent inflorescences are removed. The plant has an upright habit, does not require staking, and is resistant to drought, salt spray, as well as damage by deer and rabbits. Winter hardiness corresponds to USDA zones 5–6.
