Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a dense, upright shrub with a height and width of 0.6 to 1.2 meters. Due to short internodes, the shrub has a dense crown. Young leaves have a bright lemon-yellow or chartreuse hue, which changes to lime-green upon maturity. During the winter period, the foliage color can take on orange-red tones.

The variety is practically sterile, which reduces the risk of self-seeding, and it blooms rarely with small white flowers. The plant is resistant to diseases, pests, and deer browsing. The variety is moderately drought-tolerant, adapts well to different soil types provided there is drainage, and has winter hardiness down to -15°C.
