SEEDS (heirloom), An Award Winning Variety.

Fast growing rosette lettuce with long, burgundy-red crisp leaves. Produces large, slow bolting, non-heading plants with sweet, succulent tender wavy leaves with delicious flavour. Does not get bitter in hot weather.

Excellent in sandwiches, garnish, braised or added to soups. Adds an unique vibrant colour to food.

Grows best in semi shade & cool weather. Thinning makes excellent extra-early salads. Make successive plantings to extend harvest.
