Loading... Please wait...Attractive, excellent taste and crisp texture. Red outer leaves, green center and a very high resistance to bolting. Can be started under glass, or sown direct once the weather warms. Thin to 20cm in rows and keep moist.

We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. This is one of my favourite lettuces. It's beautiful looking and really crisp, half-way to an iceburg texture.

I planted this lettuce in the dead of winter. (We have frosts) and although I realised it would have had a better start if I had planted it in autumn, it hung in and made good growth and I had some beautiful, soft, buttery hearts for early spring. It is a sound lettuce but stagger your plantings or you will have a gut of lettuce like I did.
