Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a compact, rounded or fountain-like bush. The leaves are narrow, arching, and dark green with a distinct light-colored midrib. The inflorescences are paniculate, silvery-white with a possible pinkish hue upon emergence, and are positioned on peduncles above the foliage.

The plant height ranges from 90 to 150 cm. The variety is late-blooming, with a flowering period occurring from August to October. Winter hardiness corresponds to USDA zone 6, and in some conditions, 5. The plant prefers sunny or partially shaded sites with moderately moist, fertile, and well-drained soils.

The variety is used in landscape design for borders, mixed borders, container cultivation, and for creating visual accents in small gardens.
