This excellent early maturing hybrid has vigorous growth, high yields and disease resistance. The uniform, upright plants are about 16" tall with thick tender stems with long internodes. The smooth dark green leaves have very short petioles with less wax. Thick stems, strong heat tolerance and moderate bolting resistance make this variety very desirable.

Sow seeds in late spring to fall season (cool areas), can be planted yearly around in sub-tropical area. Keep soil moist.
