Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the iceberg (crisphead) type and was bred specifically for hot climate conditions, particularly for desert regions. The plant has a large rosette size; the dark green leaves have a moderate gloss, and the leaf margins are characterized by waviness and moderate dentation.

The plant forms dense and round heads, demonstrating high uniformity at maturity. The variety shows resistance to premature flower stalk formation (bolting) and has good tolerance to tipburn.
