Variety description

10 August 2026

The name Snow Ball is used for a series of varieties with different vegetation periods, which on average range from 70 to 110 days. The plants form a vertical or compact rosette of leaves capable of naturally covering the inflorescence, which prevents the head from yellowing under the influence of the sun.

The heads have a round, dense shape and a creamy-white color. Varieties of this group are characterized by adaptability to various growing conditions during the spring-summer and summer-autumn periods, as well as general resistance to temperature fluctuations and the main diseases of the crop.
