Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an early-ripening hybrid with a maturity period of 50 to 60 days. The plant forms napa-type barrel-shaped heads of moderate height. The outer leaves are medium-green, and the inner part of the head is white. The average head weight is approximately 2 kg.

The hybrid possesses resistance to downy mildew, viral infections, bacterial soft rot, and tip burn. One of its main characteristics is high resistance to premature bolting, which allows the variety to be used for spring sowing.

The heads have a dense structure, crispy texture, and mild flavor. The produce is suitable for both fresh consumption and culinary processing, including the preparation of kimchi, soups, stir-frying, and stewing.
