Description

It had to happen; a contender arises to challenge its parentage. This selection came out of our 2003 crop for ‘Outredgeous’, chosen for being a little bigger, tighter, and later to bolt than the rest of the patch. After three more generations of selection for more downy mildew and Sclerotinia resistance, ‘Outstanding’ is ready to contend for title of our best red romaine. Love to hear results from different venues.Farm Original Variety!
