Description
Lettuce Loose-Leaf Mix (Lactuca sativa) is a vibrant, open-pollinated heirloom seed blend formulated to yield a rich diversity of textures, colors, and flavor profiles in a single garden plot. Combining classic green oakleaf, crimson-tinged frills, deeply ruffled red-leaf, and smooth crisp-head foliage types, this specialty mix provides continuous cut-and-come-again harvests from early spring through autumn. Highly adaptable and fast-growing, young leaves offer a tender, sweet, and mild crunch perfect for high-value gourmet salad bowls. Ideal for high-density plantings in raised beds, traditional garden rows, and patio containers, it delivers fresh, home-grown salad greens weeks before head lettuce varieties mature.
