Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms medium-large, heavy, and loose heads. The leaf blade is slightly wavy, has a crunchy texture, and a sweet taste with minimal bitterness. A characteristic feature of its appearance is the light green color of the leaves with a distinct reddish blush at the edges.

The plant possesses high heat resistance and bolting resistance, which allows it to be grown during the summer period. The lettuce is intended for open field cultivation and is valued for its juiciness and long shelf life after harvest. The maturity period is approximately 50 days.
