Grown on Our Farm
One of our long-time favorite lettuces that somehow disappeared from our catalog during our early days but it's back! An exceptionally fleshy lettuce, with a whorled and crunchy interior, all wrapped in a ruffled pink-hued mantle.

Growing instructions
Sow indoors beginning 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow beginning about 4 weeks before last frost. Harvest late spring and summer sowings promptly to beat bolting by cutting the whole head at the base. Continue sowing until about 2 weeks before first fall frost. Lettuce likes steady (but not excessive) moisture and can become prematurely bitter during dry spells; keep irrigated for best-tasting leaves.
