Triton is a spring, winter and autumn variety, usually recommended for the transitioning periods from summer to winter or from winter to summer. Triton is suited for processing and pre-packing, yielding large heads with a good dome shape. The beads are very uniform and the finer bead size makes the product very attractive.
