Lettuce, Speckled (organic)

Family heirloom sent to SSE in 1983 by SSE member Mark Reusser. His father obtained it from Urias Martin, whose Mennonite ancestors likely brought it in the early 1800s from Pennsylvania to Ontario. Juicy thick leaves are green tinged with red. Mild flavor. Looseleaf, 40-55 days. ±27,000 seeds/oz.

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