An heirloom lettuce grown by Jefferson at Monticello and by countless more gardeners seeking superior flavor. It is one of our favorites for its beauty and delicious buttery flavor. Tender spring green leaves are arranged in loose whorls, each 6-7” head creating an individual sized salad. Best for spring fresh eating or fall crops as it dislikes the heat of summer.
