Green Coral — an early-maturing, high-yielding variety of green leaf lettuce, ripening in about 60 days. The plant forms a compact, rosette-shaped head, 20-25 cm tall and about 30 cm in diameter. Leaves are light green, smooth with wavy edges resembling oak leaves, succulent, and tender in taste. Due to its decorative, lacy structure, the leaves enhance the visual appeal of dishes, making this variety popular among gourmets and gardeners.
This lettuce exhibits high resistance to most diseases, including false powdery mildew, ensuring a stable and high-quality yield. Green Coral is suitable for year-round cultivation, both in open ground (from March to September) and in greenhouses. The plant prefers light, well-drained soils, with an optimal spacing of 20-25 cm between plants.
Green Coral lettuce has a tender, slightly sweet flavor with a pleasant crisp texture and subtle nutty notes. It is rich in vitamins, organic acids, and mineral salts, making it a nutritious and beneficial product. Primarily used fresh for green salads, side dishes, sandwiches, and also suitable for garnishing dishes and making smoothies and green cocktails. Yield reaches up to 2.7 kg per square meter, and leaves retain quality well after harvest.
