Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a dense rosette of oval fleshy leaves on short petioles. The leaf blade is smooth, of a rich dark green color. The hybrid is distinguished by high uniformity, succulent taste without bitterness, and the ability to maintain turgor for a long time.

The variety possesses high resistance to downy mildew (races 1–15, 17, 20) and intermediate resistance to races 16, 18, 19. It is characterized by resistance to bolting, which simplifies mechanized harvesting and extends the harvest period.

Intended for open field and protected cultivation in spring and autumn cycles. Suitable for sale on the fresh market as "baby leaf", bunching produce, as well as for industrial processing, including freezing and drying.
