COUNTESS
COUNTESS is a medium-to-large sized Lollo Bionda lettuce suitable for year-round production.
With more vigour than Jester, COUNTESS will suit growers who need slightly more size in the cooler months but who prefer Jester for the warm.
COUNTESS has slightly less curl in the leaf tips than Jester when viewed side by side.
COUNTESS shows strong bolting tolerance in late-spring/early-summer and consistently presents highly uniform heads.
The leaves of COUNTESS are thick and crisp providing extended shelf life for sleeved heads.
COUNTESS has a strong disease package with full mildew cover (Bl. 16-40) and is Nasonovia resistant.
