Cracoviensis Lettuce Seeds LT511-1

LT511A - Cracoviensis Organic

Regular price $3.69 $0.00

Cracoviensis lettuce seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Beautiful, expansive, wavy lime-green leaves stamped with deep red purple to lavender. This old heirloom from Eastern Europe retains its buttery, non-bitter flavour even after bolting, and becomes sweeter as temperatures fall. Referred to by Vilmorin (1885) as “red celtuce,” implying that its large tender pink bolting stem may have been the intent of this variety. Either way, the young leaves are tasty and tender, and very attractive. Cracoviensis takes its name from the Polish city of Krakow. Sow some Cracoviensis Organic lettuce seeds in your organic vegetable garden.

Matures in 45-65 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

  • Wavy lime-green leaves

How To Grow

Lettuce can be harvested from the garden from late spring to the late fall, and sometimes (given a bit of protection) all winter. The high protein chlorophyll in the dark-green leaves is highly nutritious. Salads are not complete without these leafy greens. Follow along with this handy how to grow lettuce from seed guide and grow fresh salad leaves all season long.
