Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the early-maturing category and is suitable for two-crop cultivation per season. The plant forms a long-cylindrical head, resembling the shape of a large Romaine lettuce, reaching a height of 40–50 cm and a width of 10–15 cm.

The leaves have a tender and crispy texture, without pronounced fiber. The color of the inner leaves varies from light green to almost white, with characteristic broad white ribs. The variety is versatile in use, suitable for consumption in fresh salads, Asian dishes, and for pickling, in particular, the preparation of kimchi.

This variety can be grown in spring for young salad leaves or in late summer for the formation of full-sized heads. Reliable scientific data on resistance to specific diseases are absent.
