Description

What we expected was a perfect, sweet Little Gem type lettuce with cool red speckles & more buttery texture. We got all of that & more! We waited a week after Little Gem size but they didn’t bolt, just got bigger & more colorful. Versatile & can be harvested as a mini-head or full size with no sacrifice on flavor or texture. A gourmet quality lettuce for salad mix & medium-sized heads to wow friends or market customers. Excellent planted spring, summer & fall. Not the hardiest in our 2010 winter trial but it lasted fairly well into the cold rainy season. Another excellent Frank Morton original, bred right here in Oregon.
