UNTREATED AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Lactuca sativa

Oakleaf Lettuce is a versatile and hardy variety known for its ability to thrive in both cool and warm climates. It gets its name from the uniquely shaped leaves that resemble oak leaves, with deeply lobed, crisp, and flavorful foliage. The leaves have a mildly sweet taste, making them perfect for fresh salads or as a garnish.

This green lettuce forms tight, compact rosettes, making harvesting easy and efficient. Unlike many other lettuce varieties, Oakleaf continues to produce tender leaves even as the weather warms, without developing bitterness. Its tolerance for colder temperatures makes it ideal even for late winter and early summer planting, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, crisp greens throughout the growing season.
