Grow a beautiful and flavorful salad green with Rouge De Hiver Red Romaine Lettuce, a classic French heirloom romaine known for its deep burgundy-red outer leaves, crisp green hearts, and rich, slightly sweet and nutty flavor. This variety is especially valued for its excellent cold tolerance, making it perfect for early spring, fall, and overwintered gardens.
Rouge De Hiver forms upright romaine heads with tender yet crunchy leaves that are ideal for fresh salads, Caesar-style dishes, sandwiches, and wraps. It grows reliably in cool weather and resists bitterness better than many lettuces, even as temperatures fluctuate.
You will receive:
✔️ 700 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated heirloom
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful sowing
