Matures: 48 days
Type: Heirloom (H)

This European crisphead (or Batavian) is one of the outstanding lettuces out there. It’s light bright green leaves are slightly puckered and  thick and juicy inside and out. As it matures it creates an open heart, pale yellow to pale green. Like a beautiful green rose perched in its garden bed, it is hardy in the winter and heat tolerant in the summer, and retains its sweet nutty flavor in all manner of adversity. It is also remarkable in its ability to germinate in warmer temperatures as well. It is resistant to downy mildew and lettuce mosaic virus.
