The development work on this variety was done by Susan Oliverson, who provided its name. Bill Minkey produced the seed that was then sent to Mike Dunton for grow out for Victory Seeds® to release. It was introduced by the Victory Seed Company to the gardening public for the 2025 season.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
