Open pollinated-untreated seeds. Parris Island Cos Romaine Lettuce is one of the easiest crops to grow. Seeds germinate quickly and plants grow with little fuss. In most areas, you can grow successive crops in spring and autumn and in mild coastal areas, it can be grown year-round. It is a widely adapted Romaine type lettuce that produces an upright head of strong leaves, with a distinctive crisp white midrib. Known as a favorite of both market growers and home gardeners, it is heat tolerant with fair bolt resistance. They are usually grown to full size to harvest, although they are becoming more popular for baby or young leaf use. Parris Island Cos grows on a stemless-like growth habit.

The leaves are a good source of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein and vitamin C as well as vitamin K. |
