Variety description

10 August 2026

Compact evergreen shrub with a dense crown shape. The height of a mature plant is 60 to 75 cm, width — 40 to 50 cm. The crop is used in landscape design for creating borders, mixed plantings, and container gardening.

A key feature is the leaves, which change shade throughout the season. Young foliage is colored in orange-red or bronze tones, and in the autumn-winter period, it acquires an intense red and purple color. In spring, the shrub blooms with small bell-shaped white flowers.

The plant is characterized by winter hardiness in USDA zones 5a–9b. It prefers acidic, organic-rich, moist, and well-drained soils. The variety exhibits the most pronounced foliage coloration when planted in full sun or partial shade.
