This has to be one of the most exciting new Romaine's to hit the marketplace in years. Bred for use in a wide variety of growing environments, this lettuce is highly tolerant to twisting and high mid-rib deformity, as well as tip burn and Sclerotinia. Its leaves are an attractive hue of dark green, and its growth is vigorous – with an average head weight of 1 ½ pounds at harvest time. Best of all, this lettuce is as much as 20 percent less expensive than comparable Romaines. Use it for cartons or hearts.
