This is a tried and true MIgardener favorite! This variety has a texture unlike any other lettuce around. The texture is caused by hundreds of crinkles in the leaves. The lettuce is cold hardy and can overwinter without any protection. Light green crinkled leaves often cause this lettuce to be confused with the endive. Not as heat tolerant as other varieties but makes up for it by how successful it is in the cold. Grows great in full sun or partial sun and grows well in containers.
Still too early to germinate . I don’t know how the plants will be
So far it looks like it will be a crispy leaf! I'm still gardening in December with my hydroponic system. My son and I enjoy crispy lettuce. I don't think we'll be disappointed. Can't wait to plant this out in the garden once spring arrives but in the meantime, we'll enjoy some lettuce on our sandwiches.
Love this lettuce! Grows well here in zone 8b.
These are already growing well!
Great price and MIgardner seeds seem to be good quality. But I have yet to plant and harvest this lettuce. Hopefully it lives up to what I read about it.
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
