About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern, highly resilient hybrid for those who want to harvest for long periods even in wet summers. ‚Diamant F1’ bears dark green, slightly glossy fruits consistently for weeks and shows noticeable resistance to true powdery mildew, especially in August when other varieties already develop white leaves. The growth habit is open and bushy, which eases harvesting and allows the plant to dry well. As an F1 hybrid it is not seed‑stable, so you buy seed each year.
Juicy and mild, with a thin skin, it is especially suitable for grilling and quick pan dishes.
