Customer Reviews
If I could give 6 stars, I would!
I started growing this lettuce late spring, actually too late to plant for Virginia Zone 7a. It bolted pretty rapidly, before it could even form a head. Most of my lettuces turn bitter when they reach bolting stage - not this one!
It has a very pretty hue of brown on the center edges, and it has a slightly sweet flavor. I will be growing this all through fall and winter, as it is a crop that enjoys cool weather, and can tolerate frost and even some hard freezes. This one is along with freckles and red sails, my favorite lettuce.
