About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A French oak-leaf lettuce, ‚Cocarde’, with deeply cupped, bronze‑red overflowing leaves in a loose rosette. You harvest it leaf by leaf as a cut‑and‑go salad or cut the whole rosette. It matures late and keeps its beautiful color even in summer heat.
Mild and tender with a delicate nutty note, the typical soft oak‑leaf texture. It melts almost on the tongue and pairs well with fruity dressings.
