Richmond, Georgia, United States
Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days
Soil Texture: Sand
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

This bi-color is a second early for me, maturing about a week later than the early cultivars. Flavor and texture are better than the early varieties but not as good as main season cultivars like Sugar Dots. All in all it performed well here in a severe drought year.
