Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is mid-season, with maturity occurring 115–120 days after emergence. The bulbs are round in shape, of medium size, and have a mass of 130–150 g. The outer scales are red-violet in color, while the inner ones are firm, resilient, and juicy. The taste is characterized as moderately pungent with a sweetish note.

The plant has a strong leaf apparatus and a developed root system, which contributes to resistance to major diseases, high solar activity, and moisture deficiency. The uniformity of shape and the strength of the scales allow for mechanized harvesting. The hybrid is intended for fresh consumption and culinary use and is capable of being stored for up to 8–9 months.
