The leaves of the variety are deeply dissected, resemble the shape of a cross, and have a grayish-green shade with dark brown or purple veins. In the winter period, the foliage can acquire a bronze tint. The plant forms a compact dense rosette, the height of which is about 15 cm, and with flower stalks reaches 25–30 cm with a bush width of up to 38 cm.

Small star-shaped light pink flowers are gathered in upright raceme inflorescences. The flowering period falls in the interval from mid-spring to mid-summer. The variety is not aggressive and is intended for use in borders, rock gardens, and as a groundcover plant in shady gardens.

The plant prefers shade or partial shade and moist, humus-rich soils. The variety is resistant to humidity, however, it may require time for adaptation and rooting when planted in a new location.
