The 'Pomegranate Garden' leaf lettuce represents a new, high-yielding, medium-early variety distinguished by rapid growth and excellent taste qualities. The leaves form a semi-erect rosette with a diameter of 25-30 cm and a weight ranging from 320 to 370 grams. They are large, bubbly, with strongly wavy edges, possessing a tender, juicy, and crisp texture; they are not bitter and have an attractive decorative appearance. Leaf color varies from green to a red tint, making the lettuce particularly striking when served.
The period from seedling emergence to market readiness is 40-50 days, allowing for harvest within a relatively short time frame. Yields reach 3-3.5 kg per square meter. For cultivation, it is recommended to sow seeds in open or protected ground at a depth of 1-1.5 cm, followed by thinning at the stage of two-three true leaves. To obtain greens throughout the season, sowing can be repeated every 10-15 days. Plants require timely watering, weeding, loosening, and fertilization, and are preferably placed in a sunny area with fertile, loose soil of neutral acidity.
The 'Pomegranate Garden' lettuce is widely used fresh for preparing salads, sandwiches, and garnishing various dishes. Thanks to its resistance to bolting and prolonged retention of consumer qualities, it remains fresh and tasty for a long time after harvest. This variety is an excellent choice for those who value the combination of high yield, decorativeness, and superb taste.
