The Tastiest Butterhead Yet!
Organic Lettuce Pirat
Tender, sweet, and utterly delicious!
Descended from the heirloom French favorite Marvel of the Four Seasons.
55 days. Until you've tasted this delectable butterhead straight from the garden, you can't know how buttery, sweet, and succulent the leaves are. Bearing little resemblance to the tasteless varieties found in supermarkets, this Certified Organic lettuce brings the flavor and vigor of the past into your own vegetable patch. You will find it irresistible!
The rounded, well-packed heads reach anywhere from 6 to 10 inches high and wide, well-marked with bright red above the pale green. The heart is tender, compact, and blanched. Pirat comes by its good looks and superb flavor naturally: its ancestor is the old French favorite, Marvel of the Four Seasons, beloved since Victorian times.
Ideal for spring or fall crops, this lettuce grows best in enriched, well-drained soil that is loamy to sandy. Give it full sun in cool climates, a bit of afternoon shade in warmer areas. It tastes as good as it looks -- and that's saying quite a lot! Pkt is 1/32 oz.
