Variety description

10 August 2026

A mid-season hybrid with a maturation period of 75–80 days. The plant has a vigorous, upright habit and high growth energy. It is distinguished by its ability to form a high yield under high temperature conditions and in poor soils, as well as good field holding ability.

The heads are characterized by a semi-domed shape, high density, and the presence of small green beads that retain their color when heated. The hybrid is universal in use, suitable for fresh market sales and industrial processing. After the main head is cut, it is capable of secondary inflorescence formation.
