This heat-resistant, long-standing leaf lettuce produces large rosettes (indistinct heads) of oakleaf-shaped, dark-green leaves with thick midribs. Its tender leaves resist turning bitter even in hot temperatures.

Looseleaf type lettuces do not form a compact head, and are cultivated for the tender, delicate leaves which grow from a central stalk. They usually reach maturity between 45-55 days after germination, though larger leaves can be collected throughout the growth cycle. Like other lettuces, looseleaf types can be sensitive to excessive heat and light, which may result in bolting, or wilting leaves. This variety is commonly used in salads and sandwiches. Space plants 6" apart, with 12" between rows.
