Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches 90–180 cm in height and 90–120 cm in width. It has a dense and thick crown; foliage color becomes more intense when grown in the sun. The variety tolerates pruning well, is not prone to lodging, and is suitable for creating hedges, topiary, and container growing.

It possesses high resistance to drought, heat, and deer browsing. Winter hardiness corresponds to USDA zones 7–10; in zone 6, the shrub may be semi-deciduous. Due to the absence of flowering and fruiting, the variety is not invasive, unlike the wild species.
