Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms compact heads, comparable in size to a large apple or grapefruit. The leaves have a buttery texture: the outer ones are dark green and slightly ruffled, while the inner ones are lighter and more tender. The flavor is characterized as mild and slightly sweet.

This is an early-maturing variety with maturity periods ranging from 28 to 70 days. The plant possesses moderate resistance to heat and bolting, and is adapted to cool growing conditions. Due to its miniature size, the variety is suitable for containers and high-density plantings.
