Organic Lettuce Lobjoits

60 to 65 days. Synonyms: 'Gray Paris,' 'Vaux's Self-Folding Lettuce'. Any lettuce that has earned itself two nicknames AND the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticulture Society is bound to be something special, and Lobjoits doesn't disappoint. An heirloom romaine, it is considered the absolute best by many experts, and is a mainstay of the British vegetable garden. Once you taste these compact, intensely flavored leaves, you will become a believer as well!

Smaller than most other romaines and a bit slower to mature, Lobjoits sets slightly wrinkled, densely packed green leaves on plants that reach just 6 to 8 inches high and 3 to 4 inches wide. This makes it perfect for today's smaller families and just right for a big, delicious single-serving meal-in-a-bowl salad. The flavor is very intense, the crispness unrivalled, and the overall effect highly pleasing. Here's a lettuce that knows what it's about and is prepared to deliver in spring AND fall!

Lobjoits is an heirloom variety renowned for its reluctance to bolt in summer. This is a true benefit if you live in a hot climate, where spring is sometimes over by mid-April! It holds its green color right to the heart, and the flavor is consistent as well, even in punishing weather. And with our Certified Organic seed, you know you're growing the authentic Lobjoits, beloved for generations!

Like other lettuces, Lobjoits prefers rich, well-drained soil on the loamy to sandy side, and thrives in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall, often going well into winter in warm climates and right through summer in cold. Give it a try and we can promise you will be back for more of this award-winning flavor and crunch! Pkt is 1/32 oz.
