Description
Strong red butterhead with firm structure for year‑round hydroponics
Absolon RZ is a red Salanova® butterhead lettuce for year‑round hydroponic production, forming robust heads with dark, glossy leaves and a reliable plant structure. The variety is strong against tipburn and elongation, and can be grown either as whole heads or at higher planting densities.
Thanks to the Knox™ trait, cut surfaces show delayed discolouration, supporting fresher appearance and reduced waste in the chain. Its stable performance makes it well suited to steady indoor production cycles.
