Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early or mid-early with a growing period of 45–55 days from emergence to harvest. The plant forms dense round heads, resembling white cabbage in shape. The leaves are rich green, succulent, crispy, with slightly curled edges. The weight of one head is 600–900 g, sometimes exceeding 1 kg. The root system is vigorous.

The variety has high resistance to downy mildew (races 1–7, 11) and lettuce root aphid. The plant is resistant to bolting, not prone to cracking when overripe, and tolerates cold periods well. The variety is distinguished by excellent keeping quality after harvest. Intended for open field cultivation during the spring, summer, and autumn periods.
