Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant forms dense clumps with robust rhizomes. Height ranges from 50 to 120 cm depending on growing conditions and the presence of flower stalks. In spring, young leaves have a saturated chocolate-brown or purple-bronze hue, in summer they become bronze-green or emerald, and in autumn they again acquire a chocolate or brownish cast. Flowers are pale pink with a dark center upon opening, gradually darkening to a red-burgundy color; flowering occurs in June-July.
The variety belongs to hardiness zone 5 and withstands temperatures down to –23...–28 °C; it is resistant to diseases, however, it is sensitive to spring recurrent frosts. It prefers partial shade or shade, wind-protected locations, and fertile, humus-rich, moist soils; it poorly tolerates drought. It is used in landscape design for edging water bodies, plantings in the understory, and creating accent groups in shade flower beds.
