Lactuca sativa

Marvel of Four Seasons is a classic French heirloom lettuce dating back to the mid-1800s, prized for both its beauty and flavour. This butterhead/bibb lettuce variety forms compact green rosettes surrounded by striking bronze to deep magenta outer leaves, blending into a tender, apple-green heart. Its crisp, juicy leaves make it a standout choice for fresh salads.

A true cut-and-come-again lettuce, you can harvest leaves as needed and the plant will continue to regrow. Ready in just 55-65 days, it’s a reliable variety for home gardens. It performs especially well when protected from harsh afternoon sun and is excellent for container gardening in pots as shallow as 6 inches.

Lettuce thrives in cooler months in India, especially from October to February. Sow in well-drained, fertile, sandy-loam soil enriched with compost. Provide partial shade in hot regions to prevent bolting. With regular watering, Marvel of Four Seasons produces lush, flavourful leaves throughout the season.

Perfect for kitchen gardens, terrace gardens and organic farms, this heirloom variety brings history, flavour and beauty to your plate.
