Variety description by Valdis Pulins.
I am so glad that I was one of the first to grow this variety, which I received as a gift from the breeder. Back then, it didn’t even have a name yet. Thank you, Valdis, for giving this variety such a beautiful name.
I grew it and just admired this plant. And the taste is indeed truly excellent.
