• Suitable for drained peat soils
• Not very suitable for sandy soils
• Responds well to the use of mineral fertilizers
• Uses a lot of nitrogen for growth

• Leaf colour (in the 2nd year before elongation) – medium green (5 points out of 9)
• Leaf width – medium (5 points out of 9)
• Habit of plant growth in the 2nd year before elongation – semi-erect (3 points out of 9)
• Flowering time (in the 2nd year) – early (3 points out of 9)
• Flag leaf length – short/medium (4 points out of 9)
• The width of the flag leaf – medium (5 points out of 9)
• The length of the longest stem – medium (5 points out of 9)
• Length of the upper internode of the stem – medium (5 points out of 9)
• Inflorescence length (when fully bloomed) – medium (5 points out of 9)
