Variety description

10 August 2026

The cup-shaped flowers are directed upwards or to the sides. Plant height varies from 80 to 120 cm; the stem is straight, sturdy, and densely foliated. The flowering period occurs in July–August; in commercial forcing, it takes about 105 days.

The variety belongs to USDA hardiness zone 5 and withstands temperatures down to -23...-29 °C. It possesses good resistance to Fusarium and gray mold compared to a number of other Oriental hybrids. It is recommended to plant in areas protected from wind due to the weight of the large flowers.
