yes, you want this lettuce.

Really enjoyed this variety. The leaves were nice and soft, and turned my salads into that dreamy, zen-like experience we all want. Harvested leaves from a couple heads twice a week mid-to-late spring, but I could definitely have harvested more frequently. I still have one head that I'm saving for the right moment. I sewed seeds indoors and directly, and the germination was fair. Would definitely grow this again!
