The stem height is about 89 cm, and the flowering is late-medium. The variety belongs to the recognizable "peach-pink" line of the breeder, which has gained the love of collectors around the world.
The upper petals are painted in a pure peach-pink tone, the lower ones repeat the same base but are complemented by a soft pink bloom, giving the flower a noble glow. A narrow pale pink border (about 3 mm) neatly outlines the edge of the falls. The center of the flower is highlighted by a bright beard of coral-tangerine shade on a white base. The shape is round, with a slight wave along the edge — изысканная and romantic.
In the central region of Russia, the variety blooms in late May — early June. 'Cross My Heart' looks great next to creamy-yellow and lavender irises, peonies, catnip, and silver sage. The variety prefers sunny areas, drained neutral soil, and regular division every 3–4 years to maintain abundant flowering.
