Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a medium-sized head with dense, deeply cut dark green leaves. The plant has a compact upright growth habit, reaching approximately 12.5 cm in height and up to 33 cm in width. Upon maturity, the inner part of the rosette lightens, acquiring a creamy hue.

The vegetation period ranges from 48 to 70 days depending on growing conditions. The variety is adaptable, suitable for cultivation from late spring to autumn, and tolerates both warm and cool conditions well. It is distinguished by high product uniformity and resistance to internal necrosis.
