About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A French classic (Merveille des Quatre Saisons), known for its exceptional adaptability across the season. The outer leaves colour up bronze red to wine red while the heart stays pale and crisp, a real eye catcher in the bed. You can sow in succession from spring to autumn and always harvest firm, juicy heads.
Mild and juicy with a crisp heart, and the reddish outer leaves taste a shade more robust. Shows little bitterness even in warm weather.
