Variety description

11 August 2026

Mid-season hybrid, the period from seedling transplanting to technical maturity is 75–80 days. The plant has vigorous growth and an upright foliage. Leaves are grey-green, medium-sized, blistered, with a light waxy bloom and slightly wavy margins.

Heads are round-flat or round, very dense, snow-white or creamy-white in color, weighing 2.0–2.8 kg. They possess excellent self-covering ability. Recommended planting density is 28–35 thousand plants per 1 hectare.

The hybrid is characterized by high adaptability to temperature fluctuations and heat tolerance. Universal in use: suitable for sale in fresh form, industrial processing, and freezing, as the florets are easily separated.
