Parris Island Cos Romaine Lettuce – Organic
4.49$
This beautiful romaine was developed around 1949 by the United States Department of Agriculture and Clemson University in Charleston, South Carolina. It was named in honor of a small island in this American state and first introduced on the East Coast of the country by the seed company Ferry Morse Seed Company in 1951.
It forms a large, very uniform, elongated apple 30 cm high. Its dark green outer leaves hide a delicious creamy white center. They themselves are exceptionally tender and flavorful and feature a beautiful contrasting white midrib. It is also cultivated for its young shoots, popular with great chefs for their taste qualities. This cultivar has also established a quality standard for romaine lettuce.
Gardeners also love it for its resistance to heat and disease, including mosaic and tip blight. It is an excellent summer lettuce that resists bolting well. Its many qualities were recognized in England in 1999 when it received an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is also sold under the name Parris Island cos, “cos” being the English term for “Roman”.
