Description
Lactuca sativa
Delectable and tender butterhead--layers and layers of soft green and red leaves!
It’s possible to seed plants of this voluptuous German heirloom butterhead close together and harvest small leaves from them, but you’d be missing out! Allow her ample room to spread out and unfurl, and you won’t be disappointed! The deeper you peel back the many layers, the more tender the inner leaves become, until they simply melt in your happy little mouth. Color variation intensifies with frost.
