This variety is the most widespread and well-known in the world. It is incredibly decorative, unpretentious, blooms abundantly and for a long duration, and is very winter-hardy.

The flowering is profuse and lasts from June to September. The leaves are round, broadly ovate, light green on top and grayish underneath.
