Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a natural compact shape that does not require regular pruning. The oval-shaped leaves have a grey-green hue and a characteristic uneven light margin along the edges. Flowering occurs in late spring and early summer; the flowers are small, purple-brown, with a honey aroma.

The variety reaches a height and width of about 1 meter by the age of ten. The plant is resistant to drought and sea winds, yet demanding of temperature conditions: in regions with cold winters, it requires sheltered locations, as it withstands temperature drops down to -5...-10°C. It may be susceptible to powdery mildew or leaf spot.
