Variety description

10 August 2026

The compact upright semi-shrub reaches 50–90 cm in height and 40–60 cm in width. The leaves are small, ovate, dark green in color, and emit a fragrance when crushed. The plant is semi-evergreen depending on climatic conditions.

The tubular flowers are gathered in airy racemose inflorescences. The coloration of the petals varies from light pink to white with a pink base; the calyces often have a purple tint. The variety is characterized by rapid growth and the ability to flower in the first year after planting.

The plant possesses good drought tolerance after rooting. It is classified as conditionally winter-hardy, tolerates frosts down to -5°C... -10°C, and requires well-drained soils and a sunny location. In regions with severe winters, cultivation in containers with indoor overwintering is recommended.
