Ella Kropf Lettuce Seeds

Mid-size green butterhead with an excellent creamy texture. We love its sweet flavor and crunchy midribs. This Midwest heirloom was donated to Seed Savers Exchange by the Kropf family of Deer Grove, Illinois, who had originally received it from a man in Stewardson, Illinois around 1930. For an older heirloom, we were surprised by the consistent size and shape of the heads. It is reliable, productive and easy to grow. Can be grown anytime, but it tastes best in the cooler weather of spring and fall. 68 days to maturity.
