I planted this early (first week of April) and have been harvesting since mid-June. Not a particularly large-producing lettuce, but very pretty, tender and tasty! |

I'm having a great time growing this this year. It's beautiful to look at. I started picking leaves a month or so ago. It's holding up well to July's heat without bolting or getting bitter. Aphids love the seedlings, but this lettuce has been very prolific despite aphids slugs & snails. |
