Red Sails Lettuce is known for its large open "head" of loose leaves that deepens in color as it matures. Introduced in 1985, the Deep bronze-red, crinkly leaves have a mild, bitter-free flavor and hold their color and sweetness better than most varieties as the weather warms in the spring. It is fast-growing, heat tolerant, and slow to bolt. Very high in nutritional value. It grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. 40 DAYS.
Great for Micro Greens. Microgreens are used like sprouts, as a garnish, as in gourmet salads, or sprinkled on sandwiches. Create your own mixes with different leaf shapes, flavors, and colors
