Variety description

10 August 2026

Early spinach hybrid with smooth rounded leaves. The plant is characterized by an upright growth habit and is intended for cultivation in spring, autumn, and winter periods.

The hybrid possesses high resistance to spinach downy mildew (races 1–15, 17, 20), however, it may be susceptible to race 16 of the pathogen. Primary use is the baby leaf market and ready-to-eat products, with potential for use in processing when sown in autumn.
