Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant forms dense, vertically directed bushes 60 to 120 cm in height. The leaves are narrow, glaucous-green or bluish-green in color, covered with dense hairs that create a shimmering effect in the sun. In autumn, the foliage turns saturated shades of red, orange, burgundy, and copper.
From the end of summer, purple-bronze flowers appear in paniculate inflorescences, which subsequently turn into silvery-white fluffy seed heads that persist until winter. The plant possesses high drought tolerance, adapts to various soil types with good drainage, and is resistant to lodging.
The variety is intended for ornamental landscaping, including group plantings, natural flower gardens, and container cultivation. The plant is not susceptible to serious diseases and pests, and winter hardiness corresponds to USDA zones 5–10.
