This vigorous red variety has bright-burgundy leaves with green centres that are great for baby leaf salad mixes. Red Salad Bowl forms big rosettes with the deeply indented leaves that we love in an oak-leaf lettuce; and is slow to bolt, tender, and mild-tasting. The bright red colour is best in cool temperatures. It grows well all year long. Matures in 55 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Oakleaf looseleaf varieties have gorgeous long leaves with deeply-notched, rounded edges and ar well suited to daily harvests of individual leaves or of a lovely, ruffled, full-sized plant.
