Lettuce 'Winter Density' Gem

Lactuca Sativa

A wonderful workhorse of a lettuce that withstands both heat and frost. ‘Winter Density’ is a sweeter romaine, with an apple-like crunch, dark green, compact, delicate leaves and thinner ribs. It has a nicely blanched blonde, tight center while the open habit makes it less susceptible to internal tip burn.

Frank Morton describes it has having the ideal “salad ratio” 3:2 length by width that fits so well on the plate, and the “Bibb-cos” texture is a perfect base for any salad.

Fast maturing in 40 days in mid Spring but slow bolting. Performs well tightly spaced at 15cm making it wonderful in intensive plots and unheated Winter greenhouses.

A long-popular English lettuce, known in France as Craquerelle du Midi or Craquante D'Avignon.
