Its compact, slightly shorter habit distinguishes it from the original Fusion type. Heat tolerance and slow bolting support an extended harvest window under suitable conditions, while Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus resistance offers another useful trait. Bring a freshly harvested head to the cutting board, chop the colorful leaves, and toss with radishes and cucumber for a crisp garden salad. This open-pollinated variety reaches harvestable size in approximately 50 days under favorable conditions.
