Red oak leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Beautiful delicate lettuce, tasty and decorative. The leaves are well cut and lobed. Oak leaf lettuce is resistant to bolting. The leaves can be harvested by cutting them at the base, as needed, leaving the core in place. In this way, you can stretch the harvest during the season. New leaves will continue to grow. Alternatively, you can also wait for the plant to mature and then harvest it in full. The leaves measuring about 15 cm keep very well in the fridge.
