Organic 'Deer Tongue' Leaf Lettuce
identification
description
Organic 'Deer Tongue' loose-leaf lettuce is an old and distinctive variety that brings a unique look to the vegetable garden with its elongated, triangular, slightly drooping leaves, in a very elegant glossy green. From the first harvests, it seduces with the fineness of its texture, both soft and crisp, which in some respects recalls the tenderness of butter lettuces while maintaining a good hold in salads. Its compact habit makes it easy to integrate into market garden beds, raised garden beds or container crops, where it offers regular and abundant harvests. Highly appreciated for its delicate flavor with slightly nutty nuances, it retains excellent taste quality even when temperatures rise, making it a valuable ally for extending the lettuce season. Easy to grow, Lactuca sativa grows consistently in flexible, cool and well-drained soil, in bright exposure that supports rapid and harmonious growth. Its tender leaves are harvested as needed, allowing for fresh and refined salads every time. A generous, reliable and original variety, it brings both visual diversity and gourmet pleasure to food gardens. With its unique character and great flexibility of cultivation, 'Deer Tongue' deserves a place of choice among the most interesting loose-leaf lettuces in the vegetable garden.
