Lactuca Sativa
Loose leaf variety. Green leaves that resemble oak tree leaves. Excellent flavour. Good variety for baby leaves. Grow in moist fertile soil, does well in hot weather compared with some lettuce varieties. We find this a great variety for adaptability and is so easy to grow, every winter and spring we will be weeding self-sown oakleaf lettuce out of driveways, rock wall ...just about anywhere! Pictured is a self-sown specimen in a rock wall.
