Lettuce, Amerikanischer Braun (organic)

What’s not to like? The leaves of this boldly colored looseleaf lettuce are flavorful, sweet, crisp, and tender. Large, abundant leaves have frilly edges and grow on plants that reached 9-11″” tall and 1′ wide at Seed Savers Exchange’s Heritage Farm in 2018 . Plants do well in summer heat and bear leaves that are light yellow-green in the center and dark red/purple toward the edges. SSE member Louis Van Deven received this variety in 1988 from a gardener in Neubrandenburg, Germany. 35-42 days.

Instructions – Sow continuously for a constant supply of lettuce. Best grown in cooler weather. Plant in full sun or partial shade.
