Lettuce – Apache Red

Approximate Seed Quantity: 75

A beautiful dark red variety producing a large head of loose rosettes consisting of broad, slightly oval leaves with frizzed edges. The variety covers a wide flavour palette with the centre of a rosette having a tender, almost sweet taste, while the outer leaves are more savoury. Can be grown from spring to early winter with its thick leaves and slow bolting habit. As with all lettuce succession sowing is the way to go for a continual harvest and avoidance of glut.
