My favourite large, crunchy and tasty hearting lettuce that has done exceptionally well in our trials

You can grow this and harvest as baby leaf, or leave it to make huge and crunchy hearts. It is reliably hardy with us, surviving even outside in the winter.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
