Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as late and is characterized by slow but uniform growth. The leaves are fleshy, smooth, and dark green. One of the key features is the extremely slow formation of flower stalks, which allows for the preservation of product quality under long daylight conditions.

The plant has high resistance to downy mildew (Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae, races 1-9, 11-16). The variety is suitable for the fresh market and industrial processing, and is recommended for harvesting in the summer-autumn period.
