Description

A smooth, svelt, bronzed batavian lettuce with a crisp juicy texture, sweet in the heat of summer for cutting mix or fresh market heads with creamy hearts. We found this as an errant seedling in a flat of unrelated lettuce. It appears to be one of our batavian types crossed to ‘Brown Goldring’–and it tastes that way too. Uniform heads with bronze slightly ruffled leaf margins. Farm Original Variety!
