Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a decorative appearance: large dark jade-colored leaves are combined with rich pink-purple stems and veins. The petioles remain narrow even when the plant reaches full size; the smooth leaves have a mild earthy flavor.

The variety is early-maturing; technical maturity occurs 25–30 days after emergence. The plant height varies from 60 to 120 cm in the flowering phase. Due to a tendency to bolt when exposed to high temperatures, it is recommended for cultivation during cool periods.
