Best green Batavia lettuce I have found for growing all summer long. Unlike most varieties, Anuenue germinates quickly in hot summer weather and will not bolt prematurely in zone 5, so I can make successive plantings every month from April through August. Anuenue also resists bottom rotting.

Harris, Texas, United States
Frost Free Season: More than 203 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

This is growing beautifully for me, but I'm sorely disappointed by the taste. It's surprisingly bitter and the weather hasn't even gotten truly hot here yet in Houston. The texture is good, the appearance and growth is great, I just wish it weren't so inedibly bitter.

Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')

Outstanding flavor in heat of summer, crisp, sweet. However, if plants are crowded they begin to rot around base of plant. I still plant the variety due to the excellent flavor.
