Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is strong and vigorous, forming a dense clump, tightly packed at the base. The leaves are dark green with distinct silvery-white stripes. In the autumn period, the color of the foliage and stems changes to reddish, and later to yellow-golden tones.

The inflorescences are panicles of a saturated red color with a pinkish tint; flowering continues from August to October. The variety is winter-hardy and withstands frosts down to -23°C (zones 5–9). It is used in landscape design for solitary plantings, flower beds, hedges, and container gardening.
