Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of interspecific hybridization involving Vaccinium angustifolium and Vaccinium uliginosum. The plant forms a compact and dense bush and possesses high winter hardiness, allowing it to be used for cultivation in containers on balconies and terraces.

The berry ripening period occurs in August. The fruits of the variety are characterized by a sweet taste, aroma, and a high content of anthocyanins and phenolic acids. The variety is intended for amateur gardening and small-scale production in regions with cold climates.
