Variety characteristic:

It is a plant of medium height displaying strong foliage. It is beyond compare when grows on sandy soils, also in years with a temporary drought. It is a variety giving big tubers rather deep in the ridge, which guarantees obtaining a satisfactory yield in such difficult conditions. If the cultivation takes place in the medium-quality soil, the planting spacing must be optimized – planting density may be increased.
