Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is of a vigorous climbing type, reaches a height of 1.8–2 meters, and requires the installation of supports. The variety forms exceptionally long, round-section pods, with a length of 20–30 cm, sometimes reaching 35 cm. The pods maintain a tender consistency and lack a fibrous parchment layer even when significantly increased in size.

The flowers of the plant have a pale bluish-purple color, and mature seeds are characterized by a nutty-brown color. The variety is mid-early, the vegetation period to technical maturity takes 60–75 days. The plant shows resistance to rust and common bean mosaic, and prefers protected cultivation or favorable microclimatic zones.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption and freezing, and possesses a sweetish taste. Plants are prone to forming lateral shoots and are sensitive to strong wind, which can damage the harvest.
