Azura was selected from many seedlings in the middle of France. It was the only seedling which survived a very cold winter. All the other seedlings died. The breeder also found out that Azura was easy to propagate by cuttings. Azura is winterhardy (-18 Celcius). The leaves are grey-blue. Very nice as a balcony plant because it is compact.

Azura is protected by European Plant Breeders Rights under number 25846.

The variety has been bred by Afocel from France.
