Description

Red Salad Bowl Lettuce is a popular loose-leaf variety known for its deeply lobed, oakleaf-shaped leaves and rich bronze-red coloring. Its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor make it an excellent choice for fresh salads, adding both visual appeal and delicate taste.

This cut-and-come-again variety is easy to grow and slow to bolt, providing reliable harvests over an extended period. Red Salad Bowl performs well in cool weather and maintains good flavor even as temperatures begin to warm.
