Jester lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
This batavia-type head lettuce has light green foliage spotted with red, slightly wavy like a jester's costume. Its leaves are crunchy and tasty and the plant is very vigorous. Developed by Frank Morton in Oregon, it has both taste and aesthetic qualities. It comes from a triple cross involving “Reine des Glaces”, “Merlot” and “Flashy Troutback”.
