One of the best of the looseleaf lettuces, Lolla Rossa has established itself as a standard in the marketplace as a popular ingredient in salad mixes. Leaves are dark red at the edges, green at the interior with frilly leaf margins.  Their texture is pleasing to the palate. The plant grows in an upright vase shape holding the leaves above the soil. Heat tolerant. 56 days. Approximately 24,000 seeds/oz..

Fossey has fantastic form and color which sets it apart from other Lolla Rossa types. The frilly leaves are a striking combination of ruby red on the exterior and creamy yellow within. Fossey grows into a nicely formed head with excellent volume. Slow to bolt and highly disease resistant, it can be grown late spring through fall.

250 seeds per packet.

250 seeds will sow a 65' row of full-size plants. Transplant seedlings or direct sow 2-3 seeds every 8-12". Thin to 1 plant.

For baby lettuce leaf production, sow 60 seeds/foot in a 2-4" band. One packet will sow 4'.
