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
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
