Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms medium to large-sized heads with a light leaf shade. The stable shape and strong flat base of the head significantly simplify the harvesting process. The leaves have an aromatic-sweet taste and are intended for sale in the fresh produce market.

The variety shows resistance to downy mildew (Bremia lactucae, races Bl: 16–22, 25, 31, 32EU) and root aphid (Pemphigus). Agrotechnics involve early cultivation in the open field, including the use of covering material, as well as cultivation in the spring-autumn period.
