Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a compact rosette of medium or small size. The leaves have a rich dark red color, a smooth surface, and are distinguished by a crispy texture. The plant is characterized by slow rosette filling, which extends the harvest period, and tolerance to bolting.

The plant possesses high resistance (HR) to downy mildew (races 16–27, 30–32) and intermediate resistance (IR) to lettuce mosaic virus. The variety is versatile and suitable for cultivation in open field and protected cultivation, as well as in hydroponics with a planting density of 10–13 plants per 1 m².
