Recently, however, Petoseed of California has come out with this improved strain. It is a brighter green in color, more frilly and much more bolt resistant, so that it can be picked for a few weeks longer than regular Simpson. One year, we picked from the same planting the entire season. This is especially surprising since it is also a real early variety. It is one of the most attractive lettuces with a very deep red color and impressively frilly leaves.
Taste is very pleasant, a real winner.
A fine recent introduction from the respected Japanese grower, Sakata. A dramatic addition to any salad. Buy Description Price 208. This is one of the earliest and most vibrantly colored lettuces that we have ever tried. You can begin harvesting small leaves barely a month after seeding, two weeks before the others in the trial.
