Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms well-branched bushes 35–40 cm in height. The leaves have a characteristic variegated coloration, combining green and red spots or bicolored fragments, which allows the variety to be used in decorative gardening alongside culinary applications.

An important characteristic is very late flowering or its rarity, which extends the harvest period for high-quality greens. The leaves possess a pronounced oriental-type aroma. The variety shows resistance to the disease Fusarium.

The compact size makes the plant suitable for cultivation in containers, on balconies, terraces, and for planting in flower beds. Culinary use includes the use of leaves in the preparation of pesto, salads, and pasta.
