Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the butterhead lettuce group with a maturity period of 45 to 70 days. The plant forms a loose head, visually resembling a semi-opened rose, with tender, brittle green leaves that have a characteristic "buttery" texture.

The plant is cold-resistant, tolerates spring frosts, and is resistant to mosaic virus, sunburn, and bolting. The variety is versatile and suitable for cultivation from early spring to late autumn both in the open field and in greenhouses.

The taste of the leaves is mild and tender; outer leaves may have a slight bitterness. The produce is used fresh and is also suitable for use in hot dishes.
