The leaves are lanceolate with pointed tips, and the flowers bloom between May and August in light green or yellowish-green colors.

Additionally, it is resistant to low temperatures during winter and can survive without special protective measures.

It is particularly suitable for recreating the wild beauty of alpine regions in natural gardens.
