- Blue flowers, grey seeds.
- Very high and stable seed yield; the 2020-2022 medium was 102% of the reference.
- Very good nutritional value and high digestibility of forage due to very low crude fiber content in the seed and very high protein content, one of the highest among varieties available on the market.
- High seed protein level yields 7.5 dt/ha of total protein.
- High resistance to anthracnose at pod formation stage, highest at pod ripening stage.
