Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is large with a spreading habit, thick angular stems with red-violet nodes and pronounced double wings. Leaves are medium-large, broadly ovate, with red-violet coloration of the veins at the points of leaflet attachment. Flowers are large, light violet in color with white tips.

Tubers have a round or oblong-round shape, dark red skin, and white flesh. The variety possesses a medium dormancy period and good keeping quality. During culinary processing, the tubers retain their texture, making them suitable for boiling, baking, mashing, and salads, although the dry matter content is low.

The variety shows high susceptibility to late blight, scab, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, and a number of viral diseases, while having moderate resistance to blackleg. The crop is prone to mechanical damage and cracking during harvest, as well as deformation under uneven soil moisture, although it possesses some drought tolerance.
