Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms large, dense, rounded heads 20–30 cm in height. The leaves are light green, sometimes with a slight reddish tint, slightly blistered, buttery and crisp in texture. The maturity period ranges from 50 to 63 days.

The variety is adapted for sowing in August-September with subsequent overwintering and harvesting in April-May, or for autumn cultivation before the onset of severe frosts. The crop prefers loose fertile soils; when planting, it is recommended to maintain a distance of about 30 cm between plants.
