Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group. The period from transplanting to technical maturity is 85–90 days. The plant has a strong root system and an upright or semi-upright leaf rosette. Leaves are medium-sized, gray-green with a waxy bloom, blistered texture, and wavy edges.

The heads have a rounded or obovate shape, a dense structure, and a bright white color. The weight of a marketable head varies from 1.0 to 2.0 kg. The leaves provide good cover for the heads against sunburn.

The crop is distinguished by its stress tolerance, withstanding heat and short-term temperature drops. It requires systematic irrigation and fertile, well-drained soils; the recommended planting density is 25,000–30,000 plants per 1 ha.

The variety is intended for cultivation in the summer-autumn period. The harvest is suitable for fresh consumption, pickling, and freezing, during which it retains its snow-white color. The storage life of the harvested produce reaches 2 months.
