description

Organic 'Parris Island Cos' romaine lettuce is a variety of Lactuca sativa particularly appreciated for its slender silhouette, good garden habit, and remarkably crisp foliage quality. In the vegetable patch, it forms large, elongated, very regular heads, with dark green leaves enveloping a pale and refreshing heart, highly sought after for summer harvests. Its firm and juicy texture provides a true freshness in the mouth, with that distinctive white rib that gives romaine lettuces all their character. Heat-resistant, it continues to produce elegantly when many other lettuces lose quality, making it a reliable ally for summer and early autumn crops. Its good tolerance to certain common foliage problems further enhances its appeal for gardeners looking for a robust and generous variety. Easy to grow in loose, fertile, well-drained soil, it appreciates sunny locations where it develops uniform and tightly packed heads. Its vertical habit allows for efficient cultivation even in well-organized spaces, while giving the garden a neat and productive appearance. Crisp, flavorful, and long-lasting, 'Parris Island Cos' is a high-quality romaine for abundant, fresh, and consistently elegant harvests.
