Variety description

10 August 2026

The Venus variety belongs to the iceberg type and forms a head. Morphologically, the plant is distinguished by deeper incisions along the edges of the wrapper leaves compared to a number of other varieties. Breeding reports note that the variety has head protection and a lighter leaf color.

This variety was used as a basis for breeding work to develop new lines. Detailed agronomic data, including exact maturity periods, growth indices, or resistance to specific diseases, are absent in open publications.
