Description
Une alternative colorée aux variétés iceberg vertes plutôt ordinaires. Cette belle variété iceberg rouge, presque chocolatée, emprunte les qualités accrocheuses d'une laitue à feuilles mobiles rouges pour former une laitue spectaculaire. Les têtes de taille moyenne sont assez serrées et tiennent longtemps avant de monter en graines. Saveur douce et agréable.
