The variety is large flowered and can show a near-black wine red when the period of bud development was a cool one. In case of a hot period the colour tends to become a dark wine red. This proud Siberian always flowers as the first named tetraploid variety in our gardens. Large flowers are held on tall, strong and well branched stems. The optimistic colour structure of this large flowered and floriferous Siberian can lead to glamorous clump effects.
Stems are tall and can produce two side branches with up to five flowers.
The tallest tetraploid Siberian we have produced so far. Stems of up to 160 cm and up to five large flowers per stem can lead to an imposing clump effect. In a position protected against strong winds the stems are of astonishing rigidity. We know of no other tetraploid Siberian of such height. The flowers open with a colour as shown and then become somewhat paler.
