Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms large oval tubers with smooth skin and medium-yellow fine-grained flesh. The plant develops rapidly in the initial phase, effectively suppressing weeds. In culinary terms, it belongs to mealy (slightly floury) varieties suitable for mashed potatoes, dumplings, gnocchi, and baking.

The variety is adapted for ecological cultivation and possesses resistance to late blight, Rhizoctonia, scab, viral infections, and drought, and it also utilizes nitrogen effectively. Tubers are not prone to hollow heart or deformation ("secondary growth").

Due to the long dormancy period, the variety has high keeping quality and can be stored until May; however, because of this feature, pre-sprouting is recommended before planting.
