ORGANIC AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Lactuca sativa

Lollo Rosso striking heirloom variety from the Turin region of Italy, prized for its deeply frilled, ruby-red leaves with a light green base. Known for its crisp texture and mild, flavour, Lollo Rosso thrives in cooler climates and is more heat-tolerant than many other lettuce types, making it perfect for late winter or early spring planting.

This loose-leaf lettuce is slow to bolt and ideal for “cut-and-come-again” harvesting, allowing you to pick the outer leaves as needed while the plant continues to produce fresh growth. Typically, ready for harvest in 60–70 days, Lollo Rosso performs best when shaded from strong afternoon sun (especially as the weather warms up), ensuring tender, flavourful leaves throughout the growing season.

A great addition to any garden, it offers both visual appeal and a steady supply of nutritious greens.
