Canasta Lettuce

50-60 days. "Red-tinged summer Batavian head. Uniform, crisp, sweet, and free of tip burn. Our vegetable gardener at Camphill Village trialed it alongside other recommended summer heading lettuces and found it the longest standing and sweetest tasting of all. This strain has been grown biodynamically at Raphael Garden in California for 16 years."

Henderson's Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce

60 days. Introduced in the 1870's by Peter Henderson & Co. Sweet and tender leaves, light yellow-green, very popular.

De Morges Braun Lettuce

65 days. Very rare romaine type with upright, rounded leaves, applegreen in the center and pink-to-bronze outside. Tender and sweet, holds well in the garden, and is one of the last to become bitter. A good choice for early spring or fall gardens, as it tolerates cool temperatures very well. Makes a lovely salad! From Switzerland.

Brune D'Hiver Lettuce

Compact, hardy, French butterhead-type lettuce that was introduced in 1855. Crunchy green leaves are blushed in reddish- brown color. Plants require little space when growing, and are perfect for fall plantings. Hard to find in America.

Flame Lettuce

Looseleaf lettuce. Introduced to gardeners in 1988 by Harris Moran. Described as “distinctly red; slow bolting; a fast mover for markets demanding unique vegetables.” Flame is a relatively recent introduction, however it is offered by only a few companies today.

Yugoslavian Red Lettuce

Butterhead lettuce with red-tinged leaves form somewhat loose heads that can measure up to 12" across. Cutting the head in half exposes solid green interior leaves and an almost white center. Excellent mild flavor, one of our most popular varieties of lettuce.
