CERTIFIED ORGANIC. A loose-leaf, red tango-type lettuce with shapely leaves that are lofty and have a pleasingly crunchy texture. The incised leaves are two-toned: the green interior is beautifully contrasted with a vivd red exterior. Burgandy can be grown as cut-and-come-again baby-leaf as well as whole leaf head lettuce and makes a great addition to any salad. Great in looks and taste, this stunning lettuce has uniform heads and a pleasingly delicate flavour.
Burgandy is part of the Eazyleaf® series of lettuces bred to yield a high count of leaves of uniform shape and size ready for salads, with one cut. Plant at 15-20cm (6-8") spacing to harvest the full head just above the root and make your final cut for salad leaves just before using. Or plant heads at 10-15cm (4-6") spacing and cut in the field just above the growing tip for a harvest of loose leaves ready to eat as a salad. Leaves will grow back for multiple harvests.
