An absolutely gorgeous and delicious heirloom lettuce from France that can be grown— as its name suggests— in the heat of the summer, as well as able to withstand West Coast winters. Reddish outer leaves blend to greenish-red around a loose inner head. A sure seller at any Farmer’s Market. Start inside in early spring and transplant out in prepared beds, or direct seed in early April outside. Watch for slugs! Resow every 3 weeks for a continual harvest.
