This is one of the prettiest lettuces we grow. Combining the fresh, light green color with the serrated edges of the outer leaves and compact loose head in the center and it looks magnificent. Texture is a bit crisper than some and these will hold well in the crisper. This variety did reasonably well in the summer months. Make sure you do not crowd this variety and keep the tall weeds away. Otherwise, these will lose their quality by "towering/bolting."
