Late season. Indet., potato leafplants produce very large pink beefsteaks, round, meaty, most fruits have smooth shoulders, but some can have slightly ribbed shoulders. 12-18 oz. Excellent rich flavor, more sweet than acidic, especially later in the season. (limited, 15 seeds / packet)

This one I highly recommend. Beautiful deep pink color with pale specks that may remind you of fireflies. Around 1 lb each, flat top globes, slightly ruffled. Potato leaf plants. Creamy sweet flavor, with a smooth taste of acid too.
