Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the romaine (cos) type and is a medium-sized plant with an open rosette up to 25–40 cm tall. The light green leaves are covered with numerous wine-red or burgundy speckles, the intensity of which increases as the plant grows.

The variety is suitable for cultivation in open field, greenhouses, and containers. Harvesting is possible both as a full head and by successive picking of individual leaves.
