Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a hybrid of Telopea speciosissima and Telopea oreades. The plant forms a dense, medium to large-sized shrub, reaching heights ranging from compact forms to 2–4 meters. The foliage is broad, leathery, and dark green in color.

Flowering occurs primarily in spring and is characterized by the appearance of dome-shaped creamy-white inflorescences with a slight greenish tint on the bracts. The variety possesses vigorous growth, moderate frost resistance, and good vase life of the flowers, making them suitable for floristry.

The plant requires well-drained acidic soils and is drought-tolerant when mature. When young, in windy conditions, support is required to prevent swaying. To stimulate flowering in subsequent seasons, it is recommended to perform pruning after flowering is completed.
