Variety description

10 August 2026

The Little Sun variety is distinguished by its bushy growth form and trailing habit. The plant produces small yellow flowers, often with a dark center, and maintains its decorative appearance throughout the summer and autumn periods.

The plant is thermophilic and photophilous, requiring a large amount of sunlight for full development. If lighting is insufficient, the shoots stretch, and flowering intensity decreases.

Due to its cascading growth habit, the variety is recommended for hanging baskets, balcony boxes, and for edging the front of borders and flower beds.
