Certified Biodynamic and OrganicHEIRLOOM from eastern Europe pre 1885. Extremely vigorous fast-growing, hardy, early lettuce. Lovely deep “spinachy” flavor. Produces huge, loose rosettes of large, long pointed wavy maroon leaves with green veining. After bolting the fat flower stalks can be peeled for the juicy cores called “celtuce.” This is the first lettuce we put out in the field in the spring, as much as three weeks before the others. Hardy and delicious.
