Good to know
  • Substantial, sturdy leaf structure holds up to hot soups, cooking, and heavy salad dressings without wilting
  • Highly cold-tolerant variety that thrives well into late autumn and handles light frosts with ease
  • Blanching the inner head by tying outer leaves together 2 weeks before harvest yields an ultra-tender, mild center
  • Has a naturally zesty, bitter flavor profile that may be too strong for growers accustomed to sweet lettuces
  • Unblanched outer leaves can become tough if grown under hot, dry midsummer conditions without ample water
