From Rogers, which offers this description: "Preakness offers great head qualities and tends to carry the head and stock weight needed for crown cut harvests. It features a smooth, fine-beaded, domed head shape, and generates a good percentage of crowns at first harvest. Suitable for bunch and floret harvest, Preakness is a versatile variety that matures in about 90-95 days."
