Variety description

10 August 2026

A hybrid variety belonging to the "Opening Act" series. The plant forms a dense, cushion-shaped bush 45–55 cm tall with sturdy stems and slow spreading via stolons. Foliage is dark green, glossy, and maintains its decorative appeal throughout the season.

Flowering begins in early summer, 2–3 weeks earlier than traditional Phlox paniculata varieties. With timely pruning of inflorescences, a second wave of flowering is possible. The lavender-pink flowers with a white center are fragrant. The variety is winter hardy (USDA zones 4–8) and has high resistance to powdery mildew.
