Description

Lettuce Baby Oakleaf (Lactuca sativa) is a popular heirloom loose-leaf variety prized for its deeply lobed, oak-like green leaves and sweet, tender flavor. Forming compact, rosette-style heads, it yields lush clusters of delicate, pliable leaves that add fine texture and vibrant color to gourmet salad mixes. Exceptionally slow to bolt and resistant to bitter heat stress, it is ideal for continuous "cut-and-come-again" harvesting throughout spring, summer, and fall.
