About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Amerikanischer Brauner’ a robust old head lettuce with reddish‑brown, tender leaves and good stand against bolting. The loose heads tolerate heat better than many light varieties and stay harvestable longer. A modest choice for summer cultivation when other lettuces already bolt.
Mild and tender with fine texture, almost no bitterness even when warmer. Classic, uncomplicated salad flavor.
