Strela Green Lettuce

This flavorful, decorative lettuce variety looks as great as it tastes and also tolerates heat! Sweet, crunchy, and not the least bit bitter, it dates from the 1500s and was reintroduced into the modern seed trade by Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds, a Seed Savers Exchange lifetime member from Corvallis, Oregon. A unique star-shaped rosette of pointed, long, slender leaves makes this lettuce stand out wherever it’s planted—in a field, garden bed, or container. Looseleaf. 48 days. Organic.
