Plaza is a daylength-sensitive durum wheat (59 d) that is 0.5 and 0.9 d later in heading date than ‘Lloyd’ (2) and ‘Ben’ (4), respectively. Plaza's plant height averages 74 cm and is 3 cm taller than Lloyd and 15 cm shorter than the medium height cultivar Ben. The culms are white and the peduncle is slightly recurved. Plaza’s spikes are midlong, awned, oblong, middense, and erect. The awns are white and 10 to 11 cm in length. The glumes are glabrous, white, long, and wide. The kernels are amber, hard, long, and elliptical; the germ is midsized; the crease is midwide and shallow; and the brush is absent.
