Variety description

10 August 2026

Pole bean with good vigor, reaching a height of 180 cm. The variety is distinguished by white flowers and the ability for partial self-pollination, which allows for fruit set during hot and dry periods when other varieties drop their flowers.

The plant produces bright green, stringless pods 24–26 cm long with high taste qualities. The variety is characterized as high-yielding, possesses resistance to major bean viral diseases and drought tolerance, but is sensitive to frost and cold wind.

The variety is intended for culinary use, suitable for cooking and freezing, and can also be used in garden design due to its decorative abundant flowering.
