Harris Seeds Lettuce Salad Bowl Seed
Best choice for home gardeners seeking a long-lasting, mild salad harvest.
These seeds produce a striking, oak-leaf rosette that brings genuine visual drama to your salad bowl. While the deep burgundy hue demands cooler temperatures to reach its full potential, the slow-bolting habit ensures you get a long, tender harvest of non-bitter greens throughout the season.
