(Lactuca sativa) Vibrant red tips on green leaves, this looseleaf adds a wonderful shade of red to a salad. Another individual plant discovered in a field of “Prizehead” in the 1980s, Royal Red, is a former intellectual property-protected lettuce that now resides publicly in the USDA collection. Wavy, crumpled, thick leaves that pack a lot of texture into a bite, with a pleasing crunch. Young lettuces do not show much red in the flats but develop bright painted tips in the field. A great old-school "red leaf" market variety, absolutely suited for commercial production.55 days.
