The plant forms compact clumps of narrow dark green leaves. Abundant paniculate inflorescences appear from June, changing color from dark purple to pink and light beige. In autumn, the foliage and stems acquire golden-yellow and orange shades.
The variety possesses high frost resistance (zone 4, down to -34°C), resistance to lodging, drought, heat, humidity, strong winds, and air pollution. The plant is resistant to diseases, sterile, and does not propagate by self-seeding.
Used in ornamental gardening as an architectural element in flower beds, for group plantings, urban landscaping, and container cultivation. The inflorescences are also used in floristry.
