description

‘New Red Fire’ frilly red lettuce is a striking variety that perfectly combines ornamental beauty, culinary freshness, and ease of cultivation both in the garden and in containers. From the moment it begins to grow, it catches the eye with its deeply ruffled leaves, tinged with a luminous ruby red that provides a remarkable contrast in the vegetable patch and in salads. Its delicate and crisp texture, combined with a sweet, slightly sugary flavor, makes it a lettuce of choice for creating dishes that are as tasty as they are elegant. Highly valued for its bolt resistance, it remains tender for longer even when temperatures rise, allowing for extended harvests without compromising taste quality. It is suitable for both spring sowing and late-summer cultivation for autumn harvests, offering great flexibility to the gardener. In the ground or in containers, it creates a colorful and generous, almost decorative presence, while remaining resolutely productive. Its leaves can be picked as needed or harvested whole at maturity, depending on the rhythm of the kitchen and the garden. It is a reliable, refined, and visually spectacular variety, ideal for those seeking a lettuce that is as beautiful as it is delicious.
