In the garden, this variety stands out as a generous and easy-to-grow plant, particularly well-suited to the cool climates of spring and autumn. Its early maturity makes it a valuable ally for gardeners looking to extend the salad season thanks to a quick and abundant harvest.

With its fine and elegant foliage, it fits perfectly into a diverse garden, where it plays the role of a refined and nourishing vegetable plant, while bringing a burst of greenery to vegetable beds.
