Summertime consistently yields the highest percentage of usable heads in trials. The flavor is good and texture is very crisp. If there is any negative to this variety, it is that the heads are not super large, but this is of little concern to the home gardener. Cos Lettuce 210. What exactly that means, I'm not sure, but Olga is a beautiful and tasty lettuce.
Heads are light green, the lightest color of all the romaines, and are uniform, quick growers.
A unique and attractive romaine. Medium green leaves are freckled and blotched with burgundy spots. Flavor of the meaty leaves is great and they are very slow to turn bitter. Will add interest to any salad. The absolute star of a very extensive lettuce trial, Plato is amongst the best Romaine we have ever evaluated.
