Description
Lactuca sativa
Comely Austrian romaine, deep green with elegant red speckles.
After feasting your eyes on this gem, you’ll commit yourself to growing it forever and ever so you needn’t ever return to a ho-hum Caesar salad rut again! Large upright leaves are are tender on the outside with crisp ribs down the middle. We’ve been selecting this variety to be slower bolting for years, and our work is paying off! So lovely!

200 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed in spring, or start indoors in early spring and transplant outdoors after 4-6 weeks. Thin to 12" spacing for heads. For cut and-come-again greens, use 3" spacing.
