Green Salad Bowl's large, lime-green rosettes resist bolting for a long time in summer and do not get bitter. The frilly, deeply lobed oakleaf shape has excellent flavour and good texture, adding loft and character to salads. Rapid cool-weather growth makes it a prime candidate for spring cold frame growing. This heirloom lettuce dates back to 1952, the year it was given a well-deserved AAS Award. It's also a winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Give it a try in patio containers to keep near the kitchen. The individual leaves are a nice addition to sandwiches, or just as garnishes.
Matures in 50 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
