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
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!
