Description
Lactuca sativa
A succulent, heat tolerant leaf lettuce for cut and grow again gardens!
Old-time favorite heirloom lettuce is heat tolerant and produces large, lightly crumpled light green leaves. Cut individual leaves as the urge strikes you, or harvest the whole leafy head in one glorious fell swoop and bask in the luxury of fresh homegrown lettuce that won’t give you some crazy food poisoning like all the industrial lettuces they’re always recalling….how’s that for peace of mind?
