Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a semi-erect growth habit and reaches a height of about 8 cm at the market maturity stage. The leaves have a dark green color. The variety is distinguished by a low stem-to-leaf ratio and uniform stem length, which ensures high yield.

The variety is diploid and is often used in professional vegetable farming and scientific research. Under conditions of high nitrogen nutrition, a development feature may occur related to limited root system growth relative to the above-ground part.
