Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms large heads with strong, flexible light-green leaves and a flat bottom of the rosette. Rapid head closure is combined with slow filling, which allows for an extended harvesting period.

The plant is intended for the fresh market and processing. The variety possesses high resistance to bolting and internal necrosis, as well as complex resistance to downy mildew (races Bl: 16–34, 36 EU), lettuce aphid (Nr: 0), lettuce mosaic virus (LMV: 1), and root aphid.
