It is SUPER red! Plants produce heads if left long enough, and the leaves are the deepest shade of red you can imagine. Amazing in salads, on sandwiches, or in wraps. Adds a pop of color to anything. The deep red color also means you are getting some amazing antioxidants! This variety is cold-hardy, grows amazing in containers, and is heat and cold-tolerant.
Great Germination!
I bought a pack in 2023 and have used so many seeds and gotten plenty of plants out of one packet. Its beginning of 2025 and seeds are still germinating and i have plenty of more seeds maybe till 2026.
I find this lettuce a little thicker which is a nice addition to the salad bowl. Color is wonderful.
I learned something important about this cultivar. To develop lots of the red pigment- anthocyanin- and turn really nice and red, this plant requires UV exposure from direct, real sunlight. It's an adaptation to harsh sunlight, like melanin in humans. But as you can see in my pictures, without sun exposure to trigger it, it stays green.
I'm growing this as an indoor, cut-and-come-again crop this winter. I started extra seedlings not sure how many I'd need, and even these were productive enough that I ended up leaving them grow and harvesting until they're gone totally root-bound in the seed started tray. If you were to grow them as young greens like this, you can even crowd them 2 to a cell at this size.
The ones that I repotted are doing great. I repotted 3 to a 3 gallon growbag and it was just a little crowded. It's tasty, but I had a late autumn heat wave and they've started shooting up to bolt already. Still, I won't have to buy lettuce for months yet.
As for the taste, well it's just romaine. Rinse the white sap off the cut end when harvesting individual leaves, that's where all the bitterness is. No complaints at all.
The colors of this lettuce are vibrant burgundy and it is crisp and very tasty. Highly recommenb

I've been using Trifecta plus since just about the beginning when it first came out. The results have been excellent. I've actually only used Miracle Grow before and with this product I can feel good about what's going in to the food and the nutrition level, thanks Migardener!
These seeds are growing very well. I am excited to taste them this Summer.
Concord Seedless grapes look great. They are growing beautifully.
I have never started my garden from seeds, but after watching several of your youtube videos I decided it was time. So far, I have been able to start the tomatoes, squash, green beans and pumpkins. Everything I planted has come up. I plan to buy more seeds in the future, as this has boosted my confidence in the garden.
I am kind of stunned. I planted these shortly after they arrived in spite of unusual wet, cold weather in southern Ohio. Both vines are flourishing. Currently working on a support system and a way to protect them from the local varmints before they're part of the buffet I seem to plant every spring.
