Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a rosette of light green, dense leaves with a wavy margin. The leaves have a crispy texture, which contributes to the preservation of marketability and good transportability of the produce.

The plant is fast-growing and is characterized by high resistance to tip burn, bolting, and downy mildew (races Bl:16, 21, 23, 32 EU). The variety tolerates deviations from optimal temperatures well, without stretching during overheating, and adapts to various climatic and light conditions.
