About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The decorative Italian cut and come again lettuce with strongly curled leaf edges washed in red brown, which lift any salad plate. You do not have to wait for a head; instead you pick the outer leaves continuously from the outside in, so the plant keeps producing new growth. That way a few plants keep you harvesting for many weeks.

Slightly bitter with a fine, nutty note, more assertive than butterhead lettuce. The curly structure takes up dressing especially well.
