Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-late; berry ripening occurs in mid-to-late September. The plant is low-growing and creeping, reaching a height of 15–20 cm, sometimes up to 30 cm. The variety is distinguished by high frost resistance, withstanding temperature drops down to –30 °C, and good adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions.

The berries are large, up to 2 cm in diameter, have a dark red color and a waxy bloom. The taste of the fruit is sweet-sour, they possess high keeping quality and are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing. Yield is 1.5–2.0 kg/m². The variety is self-fertile; the presence of pollinators contributes to an increase in yield.

Thanks to its evergreen leaves, pink flowers, and creeping shoots, the variety is used in landscape design, including the creation of hedges and the decoration of alpine gardens.
