Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant forms an upright, dense bush 30–45 cm tall, sometimes reaching 60 cm. Foliage is narrow, dark green, and serrated. Spicate inflorescences consist of lavender-pink tubular flowers suitable for cutting.
The variety is less prone to aggressive spreading due to shortened rhizomes. Resistant to lodging, with low palatability to deer and rabbits. Prefers sunny areas or partial shade, as well as moist, well-drained soils. Frost resistance is estimated within USDA zones 2–9 to 5–9.
Used for mass plantings, mixed borders, container gardening, and cut flowers. Suitable for naturalizing in woodland-style gardens and attracting pollinators.
