A great early summer lettuce that will be an essential part of my summer lettuce mixes from now on. Similar to green deer tongue, but with longer thinner red leaves and a slightly crisper texture (sort of like a deer tongue crossed with a romaine). Held up well to early summer heat, almost as well as green deer tongue, but maybe not for quite as long. Cut in mid August when it looked like it was about to bolt. Survived the very wet 08 summer with relatively minimal damage though some browning on some of the base of the outer leaves.
