Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches 120 cm in height and forms an upright clump with wide leaves, creating a skirt-like effect. The foliage color is powdery blue, persisting throughout the season and into autumn. Panicle inflorescences appear in mid-summer, changing color from grayish-reddish-purple to creamy beige, and retain their decorative quality in winter.

The variety is intended for landscape design, used as a specimen plant or in mass plantings. The plant is low-maintenance, prefers full sun, and adapts to various soil types. Care includes cutting back old foliage to the base in late winter or early spring. Resistance to salt and deer is noted; in hot, humid climates, susceptibility to rust is possible.
