Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense clumps up to 1.5 meters tall during the flowering period. The leaves are narrow, dark green with a distinct white central vein, arched downwards. In autumn, the foliage takes on a reddish hue.

Flowering begins in the second half of September with purple-burgundy panicles positioned low above the foliage. In late autumn, the inflorescences become fluffy and take on a caramel-amber color, maintaining their decorative appeal throughout the winter period.

The variety belongs to frost resistance zone 5, withstanding temperature drops down to -28…-29°C. Sunny sites with moderately moist, fertile, and well-drained soils are preferred for cultivation.
