Flashy Trout Back Lettuce is a broadleaf deciduous annual / biennial with burgundy, green and variegated foliage. In fall and spring flowers emerge. Grows well with sun - mostly sun and even moisture water. Does well in gritty, rich and well-drained soil.
Our supplier's selection of the heirloom 'Forellenschluse' (meaning speckled like a trout's back") is richly speckled with bright red splashes on bright green leaves. This Romaine variety has crisp, butterhead-like texture and sweet flavor. Best in cool weather in rich, moist, well-drained soils."
