The maximum was at the virginal age stage in the studied populations. Juvenile, old generative, and subsenile individuals were present sporadically, while senile individuals were absent at all. In transition from immature to middle generative stage, the height of plants increase from 0.5 cm to 7-8 cm, the  diameter of crown – from 1.2-1.7 cm to 10 cm, the number of leaves – from 2-3 to 9-11, as well 5-7 flower stalks with length 2,5-12 cm appear.
