Winter Red Romaine Lettuce – Organic
4.49$
This very old variety from France was described in the work of Vilmorin-Andrieux published in 1885. The open, tall and voluminous apple has a beautiful wine red color, which gains in intensity with the cold, enhanced with green veins. The beautiful pale green inner leaves create a striking contrast. Their texture is tender and crunchy and their flavor exquisite, rather sweet. The young leaves are also very popular in salads.
Very productive, Red Winter lettuce is also slow to go to seed and exceptionally hardy. Sowing at the end of summer would allow you to harvest plants until spring, even in our latitudes! An Internet user from Michigan claims to have kept some in the garden all winter and the lettuces picked in January were as good as those from October; she only had to clear the snow to harvest them! The plants left in place eventually reseed and lettuce production becomes continuous.
Number of days for harvest: Young leaves: 28 | Mature leaves: 60
