Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the butterhead lettuce type with green leaves and forms a large head. The plant is characterized by good growth vigor in the winter period, delayed summer bolting, a short core, and a leaf structure convenient for trimming.

It possesses high resistance to downy mildew (Bremia lactucae, races Bl:1-28 or Bl:16-32) and lettuce aphid (Nasonovia ribisnigri, race Nr:0). The variety is suitable for cultivation in both protected and open ground and is used for fresh consumption and industrial processing.
