Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is medium-height, upright, with light violet flowers and stems with a purple tint. Tubers are oval-shaped, slightly flattened, with yellowish-white skin and deep pink eyes.

The variety has high resistance to PVA virus and moderate resistance to potato leaf roll virus, while being susceptible to common scab and PVY virus. Large tubers are prone to internal hollows.

The potatoes are suitable for boiling, baking, and frying; they retain their flesh color after heat treatment. Intended primarily for fresh market sales.
