Lettuce Rouge d’Hiver
Vintage French heirloom with large, smooth tasty leaves.
In 1885, this variety made its debut in the French company Vilmorin’s The Vegetable Garden. A compact romaine type, the heads grow to 10-12″ tall, producing large smooth leaves that are green at the heart and brownish-red throughout the body. Crisp and tasty, the lettuce combines well with green-leaf varieties.
