Albemarle, Virginia, United States

Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')

I planted this variety in full sun among other crops. The large, loose leaves were shaded an absolutely beautiful coppery pink and green. The taste was delicate, and my husband, the salad man, rated it higher than Jericho or Outredgeous, which I also planted. It held up until late may before going to seed.
