Special Features
Lettuce (Latuca sativa) is cool season annual in the Compositae family, which includes endive, escarole, chicory, globe artichoke, sunflower, Jerusalem artichoke, salsify, and burdock. Multi-purpose lettuce commonly used for baby leaf production because of a quick growth rate, but makes an excellent head. Upright, grey-green heads are 8-12” tall and have slightly savoyed leaves. Uniform and medium-slow to bolt. Tolerant to Tip Burn.
Disease Resistance: Lettuce Mosiac Virus
Approx. 150 seeds per package.
