Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a flat, cushion-shaped rosette with a well-closed base. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and have the 3D shape characteristic of oak-leaf lettuce. It possesses a crispy texture and the ability to maintain freshness for a long time after harvest; it is intended for sale on the fresh market.

The variety has high resistance to downy mildew races Bl:29–37, 39–41EU, currant-lettuce aphid type Nr:0, and tip burn. Good field resistance is noted. The variety is versatile, suitable for cultivation in open and protected ground, including hydroponic systems and city farms.
