Lactuca sativa
Lot# LT28133
This vigorous oak leave heirloom variety has bright burgundy red leaves that are deeply lobed, creating a full rosette with a typical green center. Great for baby leaf salad mixes. Red Salad Bowl is slow to bolt, tender, and mild-tasting. However, once it has bolted (starts to produce a rapidly growing flower stem) the leaves will become bitter. It is best grown in early spring or late summer and early fall as the cool nights are beneficial for a better harvest.

Additional Information
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. Red Salad is a low maintenance plant and it is great lettuce for beginner gardeners and those that like gardens that don't need much overseeing. The leaves are a good source of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein and vitamin C as well as vitamin K. Most lettuce types can withstand a light frost. |
