Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms dense, erect or slightly drooping clumps 1.2–1.5 m high and up to 1.5 m wide. The leaves have a characteristic coloration with contrasting veins, creating a visual veneer effect, with a color palette ranging from mocha and latte to pinkish and cream tones. In mature specimens, tall flower stalks with tubular flowers of red or brown shades develop in summer.

The variety is hardy, resistant to wind and drought after rooting, relatively frost-resistant, but requires protection at extremely low temperatures. Prefers fertile, well-drained soils. Intended exclusively for decorative purposes, including single plantings, borders, and terrace landscaping.
