Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the butterhead lettuce type (Laitue beurre). The plant is characterized by its compactness, good volume, and forms a closed base of the rosette, making it suitable for the fresh market. The foliage has a light 'blonde' shade, and the head is easy to separate into leaves even when overmature.

The hybrid is intended for cultivation in the late autumn and winter periods. The variety demonstrates high marketability, as well as an excellent yield of usable mass when used in the 4th range segment, that is, for the production of washed and packaged salads.

It possesses high resistance to lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) strains Bl:16-36EU. Good resistance of the variety to Sclerotinia (Sclerotinia) has also been noted.
