description

Organic red oak leaf lettuce is an heirloom variety with refined charm, prized for its delicately cut foliage, tender texture, and beautiful colored presence in the vegetable garden. With its broad, deeply lobed leaves reminiscent of an oak tree, Lactuca sativa immediately adds relief and elegance to garden beds and plates alike. Its green hue with red undertones gives harvests a decorative and gourmet dimension, particularly welcome in fresh salads in early and mid-season. Its sweet, slightly sugary flavor makes it a very pleasant lettuce to eat raw, both on its own and mixed with other young greens. Vigorous and rustic, it quickly produces beautiful, flexible, and flavorful leaves, allowing for regular harvests throughout the season. Easy to cultivate in cool, loose, and well-drained soil, it enjoys the sun but also benefits from some shade during the hottest hours. Its rapid growth provides the gardener with the simple pleasure of early, abundant, and always aesthetic harvests. It is an elegant, tender, and generous lettuce, perfect for enriching the garden with color, freshness, and finesse.
