Freckles, Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Freckles lettuce grows in a loose, upright fashion with a vase-like, open shape and is small to medium in size. The leaves are tender and crisp, with ruffled edges. Freckles lettuce is a succulent, minerally, bitter-tasting lettuce that has a clean, mild finish. It can be grown as a baby or mature lettuce type.

 The heirloom Romaine lettuce has crisp, burgundy-freckled green leaves. It's a simple to grow variety that has heat resistance, thrives in hotter climates, and stays sweeter for longer than other varieties that tend to get bitter. The plants can reach a height of 1.5 to 2 feet and develop loose, tall heads. After the first month, the baby leaves will be able to harvest.
