The plant exhibits strong vegetation, a bushy growth habit, and dark green foliage with a semi-glossy aspect. No particular disease concern has been encountered during observations to date. The attractive dark green foliage contrasts nicely with the intense ocher blossom coloration. The new variety is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
