Lettuce- Red Romaine Head (Heirloom)

Lactuca sativa

Red Romaine starts off with green leaves that eventually turn a deep burgundy color, even more in cooler weather. A perfect addition to a mix salad, Red Romaine can be picked at as a cut-and-come-again leaf lettuce, or can be left to form a head (light picking of bigger leaves is allowed) but not both. The heads (if allowed to form) are thick enough to grill. Plants are slow to bolt (unless picked at) and grow best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade and even appreciate it in spring in hot climates.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
