The variety belongs to the Romaine lettuce group and is also known by the names "Trout Back" and "Freckles". The plant forms large, dense, elongated heads 20–40 cm in height. The leaves are light green with dense wine-red or brownish-red spots, resembling the pattern on a trout's back.
The leaf texture is tender, similar to butterhead varieties, while the central rib remains crisp. The taste is mild, with slight sweetness. The variety is early-maturing with a vegetation period of 50–60 days.
The plant is resistant to bolting, which allows for harvesting over a long period, including the summer season. The variety is adapted for cultivation in open field, greenhouses, and containers. When sowing, the seeds require exposure to light.
