This is heirloom lettuce from the Siberian region of Russia and is very cold hardy. Plants produce oakleaf-style leaves that are green with a bronze tint. This lettuce will produce late into winter and will tolerate heat more than most varieties due to its low profile to the soil. Oakleaf-shaped leaves will not overheat in the sun. Rich in vitamins E, K, A, C, and Potassium, fiber, as well as iron.
I love growing lettuce and this didn’t disappoint. Grew great in a container. Sturdy heads that I used mostly for salads.
This lettuce is hardy and is less susceptible to bolting in warm weather and is cold tolerant. I am growing it in container grow bags from MI Gardener and will test it out to see how long it handles the Minnesota cold temps. So far I am impressed with all the products I have purchased and expect this Bronze Mignonette will exceed my expectations!
While it is now the end of June, I can tell you that I planted this lettuce before memorial day and just before I harvested last week received a comment from my neighbor that said these rose of lettuce look like they should be in a seed catalog
I still have a couple inground a week before the Fourth of July. I harvested the most of them just as they started bolting, but the initial bolting processes did not affect better or Crispness. In fact, I ate a salad made from this lettuce today and found it quite satisfying. The lettuce I used had been in the fridge for a week which I count as a win. I will definitely plant this. Let us again.
Haven’t planted seeds yet, however, delivery was super fast. Great info on the packets too!
Good lettuce variety. Love all migardener seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
