'Freckles' Lettuce Seeds

Freckles lettuce is an unusual bright green Romaine with crimson splashes. It has an upright growth habit, early coloring and crisp texture – making it an excellent choice for both baby leaf and full-sized heads. Heat tolerant and slow to bolt. Looks lovely in salad mixes, and tastes good too.
