Batavia

The 'Reine des Glaces' Lettuce is a bicentenary variety coming from France. It is also known as Regina delle Ghiacciole in Italy. It's a batavia lettuce; its leaves are crinkled and have a wavy edge, they're crispy and sweet. This variety grows fast and tolerates well the heat; it doesn't develop a bitter taste and doesn't bolt easily. It also tolerates the first snowfalls well, making it a polyvalent crop. After harvested the head, the remaining leaves can still be cut and eaten as fresh greens. Packet: 200 seeds
