Lettuce Butterhead Australe Organic Seed Pack

Description

It’s hard not to love this easy-to-grow lettuce. The stunning bright green leaves are dusted with almost iridescent bronze tips. “Australe” reminds us of a cross between a traditional butterhead due to its buttery texture and a mini romaine because of its upright growing habit.
