Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the super sweet corn group with the sh2 gene. The variety is early-maturing and possesses a high capacity for germination in cold soil conditions, which makes it suitable for early planting dates in northern regions. The plant forms one to two cobs 20–22 cm long; the kernels are characterized by small size and a high degree of sweetness.

Plant height varies from 100 to 250 cm, with lower values providing increased resistance to wind and lodging. The variety shows good resistance to rust, and the cobs are characterized by high-quality kernel filling to the tip. The produce is intended for fresh, boiled, and fried consumption, as well as for freezing.

Due to belonging to the sh2 type, the variety requires spatial isolation from other corn varieties during flowering to prevent cross-pollination and maintain taste qualities.
