This lettuce is one of the prettiest romaine style ones you can get. It forms compact, stately plants which are great for any salad. Crisp Mint, so called because of the colour of its leaves, can be cut even in hot weather & wont wilt or droop before you get it home. You can pull off the outer leaves to use, while letting the plant heart up for use later in the season. You can also cut the main plant an inch above the ground & it will start to grow again, providing baby leaves a few weeks later. Use this variety for a great Caesar salad. ...

It can be said, that a lady who has had one too many drinks, may suffer from flushed red cheeks. That is exactly why this loose leaved lettuce has the name of Drunken Woman. The 20cm (8), mint green plants have red flushed leaves, yet unlike a true drunken woman, this plant stands well & is slow to bolt. Excellent on sandwiches, salads & added to stir-fries. Another great heritage variety with a fantastic, tongue in cheek name. ...

A great old French butterhead style lettuce, with a peculiar name. Nothing to do with a person, the name is actually describing the traits of the plant. This variety forms 'fat' 18-25cm (7-10) heads which are slow (lazy) to bolt in warm weather. The inner leaves are light green (blonde) in colour & delicious. Has a good resistance to downy mildew. A definite talking point for the veg plot. ...
