Merlot Lettuce Seeds
Merlot Lettuce is a garden showstopper, boasting deep red, nearly burgundy leaves with a glossy texture and elegant, ruffled edges. This heirloom loose-leaf lettuce isn't just a feast for the eyes—it delivers a robust flavor profile with a hint of nuttiness and a mild sweetness that elevates any salad or dish. Much like its namesake wine, Merlot Lettuce brings complexity and sophistication to your garden and table.
Renowned as the darkest red lettuce available, it’s packed with anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that make it as nutritious as it is beautiful. Its crisp, waxy leaves and frilly margins make it perfect for baby greens or a cut-and-come-again harvesting style, ensuring a steady supply of fresh greens. Merlot Lettuce is remarkably versatile, offering excellent resistance to bolting and great tolerance to cold, making it ideal for late fall to winter crops. Rich in potassium and vitamin A, this variety is both a visual and nutritional powerhouse, perfect for gardeners looking to grow something truly extraordinary.
