Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to winter crops, which allows for harvesting significantly earlier than with spring sowing. The bulbs have an oval shape and are distinguished by a pronounced taste, although some publications note its relative mildness compared to other winter varieties.

The plant possesses good storage indicators, ensuring the possibility of long-term storage of the harvest. The variety is intended for cultivation by planting sets in the autumn.
