An indeterminate, mid-season salad variety. The leaf type is potato (PL). The fruits are large, the color of a dusty rose, appearing almost as if they are shimmering. The flesh is meaty, and the taste is excellent—perfectly balanced and sweet. Good yield. I grew it in the greenhouse. It is one of my new favorites of the season.

I grew this variety for a second year in a row, and it remains a favorite for its taste—a very balanced flavor with distinct sweetness. It didn’t disappoint with the yield either.
