Red Sails Leaf Lettuce

A favorite among gardeners who prize beauty as well as flavor. Among the very first to arise, it resists bolting, giving you an especially long season of delectable eating. The large, erect leaves are deep red at the ruffled tips, shading into a bronzy-maroon and finally becoming green toward the base. A great source of rich color for the salad bowl, they are high-quality eating with a soft texture and buttery flavor that appeals to all ages.
