Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense, compact bushes 80 to 130 cm in height with erect stems. The foliage is narrow, linear-lanceolate, colored green with a glaucous hue in summer, and acquires deep red-burgundy tones in autumn.

Flowering begins in mid-summer and continues until autumn, accompanied by the appearance of airy, loose panicles of reddish-purple or brownish shades, which retain their ornamental value until winter.

The variety belongs to late-season plants and is characterized by high resistance to drought, heat, and lodging. It prefers sunny sites and well-drained, moderately fertile soils.
