The bushes of the variety are vigorous, spreading, reaching a height of 1.5–2 meters. Fruit ripening begins in August. The variety is characterized by a regular yield within 3.6–7 kg per bush.
The berries are large, approximately 22 mm in diameter, firm, round-flattened or round-pentagonal in shape, blue in color. The taste of the berries is sweet-and-sour with an aroma. The plant is valued for its decorative flowering in spring and the change of leaf color to yellow or orange-red in autumn.
Successful cultivation requires acidic soils with a pH level of 3.5–5.0, good lighting, and protection from strong winds.
