Green Moon lettuce is an early-heading head lettuce type of Iceberg, developed by the Dutch company Hazera. This variety matures in 50-55 days and is characterized by forming round, neat heads weighing from 0.5 to 1 kg. The leaves are dark green, firm, and succulent, shaped like cabbage leaves. The flavor is sweet, without bitterness, making it an excellent choice for various salad compositions and pairings with other lettuce types.
Green Moon is well-adapted to various growing conditions, including hot climates provided there is adequate watering. The variety is recommended for cultivation in open ground during spring-summer and summer-autumn periods. It exhibits high resistance to several diseases, such as leaf edge burn, false powdery mildew, and leaf curl, as well as tolerance to lettuce mosaic virus and lettuce aphid. Thanks to these qualities, the lettuce maintains its attractive appearance and flavor even during transportation and storage.
This variety is distinguished by good transportability and a long storage life, without losing its freshness and succulence. The small core and balanced shape make Green Moon convenient to use and appealing to consumers. Due to the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and superior flavor, Green Moon lettuce is an excellent choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions and seasons.
