The outer leaves of this lettuce are a deep wine red with green veins that become more pronounced with cold, while the inner leaves are a pale creamy green. Its large, open head adds texture to fresh salads, with an exquisite, slightly sweet flavor.

Very hardy and resistant to cold, the "Rouge d'Hiver" is slow to go to seed, guaranteeing a prolonged harvest. It reseeds easily from one year to the next, allowing continuous cultivation. Preferring well-drained soil and a sunny location, it adapts well to sowing in late summer for a harvest until spring.

Romaine Red Winter Lettuce is ideal for home gardeners looking for a productive, hardy and full-flavored plant, adding color and flavor to salads and cold dishes.
