Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is mid-season; the maturity period is from 70 to 90 days depending on the season. The plant has good vigor, upright habit, and a medium-sized leaf canopy that provides coverage for the curd.

Dense curds reach 16–18 cm in diameter and have an intense purple color, which intensifies under bright light. The variety develops better in cool conditions, is suitable for long-term storage after harvest, and contains significant amounts of anthocyanins and carotene.
