The plant reaches a height of 15–30 cm and spreads to a width of 20–46 cm, forming dense cushions or mats of highly branched shoots. The leaves are dark green, lanceolate, and slightly pubescent.
Flowering lasts from late spring or July until frosts. The variety possesses high heat and drought tolerance and is rarely affected by diseases and pests. The flowers resemble miniature sunflowers, and their unique feature is the ability of new buds to hide fading inflorescences without the need for pruning.
The variety is used as an ornamental groundcover plant and is suitable for borders, rock gardens, containers, and hanging baskets, where it forms a cascading effect.
