description

Organic ‘Grosse Blonde Paresseuse’ butterhead lettuce is an old, full-bodied variety, appreciated for its beautiful blonde heads, crunchy texture, and remarkable heat tolerance. With its pale green, almost golden leaves, Lactuca sativa brightens up the vegetable garden with a soft, luminous presence, while offering a generous and flavorful harvest. Its compact head contains thick, fresh, and delicately sweet leaves, perfect for creating refined salads or elegantly garnishing cold dishes. In the garden, it stands out for its slow bolting, a valuable asset for extending harvests in warmer seasons without sacrificing leaf quality. Its quiet vigor and good keeping quality give the gardener the satisfaction of long-term harvesting of lettuce that remains sweet, tender, and without bitterness. Easy to grow in fresh, loose, well-drained soil, in sunny or slightly shaded conditions, it is suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts of heritage varieties. Its young leaves can be harvested early, while mature heads then offer an abundance over the weeks. It is a generous, luminous, and reliable butterhead lettuce, perfect for combining freshness, sweetness, and consistency in the vegetable garden.
