Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a dense shrub that reaches its full size in 5–10 years. The narrow lanceolate leaves are gray-green with a cream margin during the warm season, which acquires a pink or purple-red hue in the autumn-winter period.

During the summer, raceme-like inflorescences with small mauve-lilac flowers are formed. The variety is used for container gardening, creating borders, and low hedges. It is considered conditionally winter-hardy, requiring protection in regions with severe climates.

The plant is susceptible to powdery mildew, leaf spot, and aphids. The variety is a commercial addition, presumably derived from the variety Hebe Dazzler.
