Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms dense and flexible leaves of an intense red color, which is maintained even at high temperatures and low light. Thanks to the vertical habit, the harvesting and transport process is facilitated. At low temperatures, anthocyanin coloration may appear at the base of the petioles.

The plant possesses genetic resistance to root rot races 1 and 2, and also exhibits relative resistance to Sclerotinia rot and gray mold. Due to its vertical growth habit, the variety appears more compact, therefore, when determining maturity, it is recommended to be guided by the weight of the rosettes.
