Manalucie was released in 1953 and while it may have been bred for FL conditions it was also grown here in the NE and did very well, along with Valiant and Marglobe and others.

I remember it well from helping out on the farm until I left go to college.

As you know seeds are still available but I don't know anyone up here who still grows it. They moved on to other varieties long ago.

But Fusion has suggested an alternative for you, or you can grow both and see what you think.

Edited to say yes, it definitely is OP.
