Dwarf habit with closely curled leaves. A superb source of tasty and highly nutritious autumn, winter and spring 'greens'. Resistant to very bad winter conditions.
This lettuce is a loose leaf (non-hearting), green ?frisee? type with crisp, sweet and well textured leaves. It is a very attractive variety with an excellent shelf life once harvested and good resistance to tipburn and the downy mildew races.
Not only is this one of the most naturally healthy lettuces we know, but it produces impressive, dense hearts even with the minimum of attention. This home-grown 'iceberg' has a real lettuce flavour to complement its superbly succulent and crisp texture.
The firm, fairly large buttons are packed tightly round the stem to give a high yield and, despite their size, are remarkably mild and sweet, with not a hint of bitterness. Plenty of really tasty sprouts from this exclusive early to mid-season, vigorous sprout.
