Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is characterized by a medium or late flowering period and plants of low or medium height. The leaves and flowers are small or medium in size. Seed pods are long, and the variety is noted for its low tendency to shatter.

The plant is a subject of research regarding fungal disease infection, in particular Septoria oenotherae. The variety is valued for the high oil content in the seeds with high levels of linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids, while quality and yield depend on sowing and growing conditions.
