Lettuce "Black Seeded Simpson

An heirloom lettuce popular for over 150 years for its light green, ruffled tender leaves and delicate flavour. The large upright plants are widely adapted and tolerant to heat, drought and frost. Loose leaf lettuces are useful to 'cut and come again', as you can just pick leaves as required. Keep the plants mulched so the leaves stay clean. Days to harvest: 50 full size.
