Description
Lactuca sativa
A grower favorite! Crisp, crunchy & cool, just like the farmers who grow them!
Co-op grower Affinity Farm swears by this variety (also called Erthel lettuce), with its compact, 10” tall upright heads of flavorful, crisp leaves. It’s slower to bolt than most romaine varieties, but it can get tip burn in the hottest heat of the summer, so provide some shade if you’re trying for the holy grail of all-summer-long romaine lettuce eatin’!
