Variety description
10 August 2026
The variety is a compact perennial with a height of 22–30 cm. Flowering occurs in July–August, with possible repeat flushes in the autumn. Large violet-blue flowers attract pollinators. In warm climatic zones, the foliage remains evergreen.
The plant prefers sunny sites with well-drained, medium-moisture soils; it poorly tolerates water stagnation in winter. The variety is recommended for USDA hardiness zones 5–9. The crop is resistant to major diseases and pests, but requires monitoring for the appearance of caterpillars.
