Lettuce Cardinale Batavian #5036

Description

Lettuce Cardinale Batavian #5036

(60 days) Lactuca sativa This is a large green and red Batavian lettuce that produces crunchy, thick leaves. Because this variety is slow to bolt it is good for summer harvests. Thick leaves are good for cut salads and at maturity it makes a good loosely wrapped crisp head.

Cardinale Batavian is a Red French leaf variety with upright growth which helps with resisting bottom rot.

Certified organic  200+ seeds/pkt
