About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find a compact, low‑growing variety that is ideal for small gardens, pots, and balconies. Despite its compact growth it bears abundantly and early. The berries are large and sit on short clusters, making harvesting easier. It is self‑fertile and has good powdery mildew resistance, making it low‑maintenance and suitable for beginners.

Mild and pleasantly aromatic, less bitter than many older varieties. Also a delight straight from the bush.
