Mayan Jaguar Organic Lettuce Seeds

Don’t fear – this leopard-spotted, sturdy and delicious romaine lettuce won’t bite back! Mayan Jaguar is another Open Source Seed Initiative pledged variety developed by lettuce breeder extraordinaire, Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds. We came across this variety through one of our seed growers, Clint Freund, who grew the seed after enjoying the satisfying “CRUNCH!” and fierce coloration. Maroon-red speckling on dark green ruffled leaves that form an upright, compact head of crunchy romaine goodness with a blushing pink heart. This gourmet lettuce shines on its own, or as part of a spring or fall salad mix. Good resistance to common diseases, and strong early vigor make this an ideal lettuce for organic growing. 50-60 days to maturity.
