Aloha Gem
NEW FOR 2016! This is the first varietal type to emerge from ‘Manoa x Leopard,’ a glossy ‘Little Gem’ sized, medium green, savoyed, heading lettuce with something like romaine texture.

Australian Yellow
An unusually glossy-bright yellow-green leafed lettuce from down under, with a reputation for heat endurance. We like the shiny new color for the salad palette and the vigorous growth in the middle of summer. A contrast creator when combined with a dark green and dark red in a simple lettuce mix. pricing and more

Balady Aswan
This is an Egyptian celtuce that Eric found in the US seed bank (GRIN) system while searching for sources of virus resistance for breeding. The emerald green leaves have a completely different taste than our familiar kinds of lettuce, a rich non-bitter creamy flavor, like a lettuce smoothie. Celtuce, or stem lettuce, is one of the most ancient forms of the vegetable, derived originally from oilsee... pricing and more

Chadwick's Rodan
A unique lettuce with a rich glossy mahogany-green color and arrowhead shaped leaves arranged in a perfect rosette, eventually forming a tidy blanched heart. Compact plants are ideal for equidistant close spacing on raised beds (6-8") for the sort of intensive production practiced by Alan Chadwick and conveyed by John Jeavons in his excellent book. pricing and more

Cracoviensis
An heirloom predating 1885, with an open head of elongate, slightly savoyed, purple-red tipped leaves. A fast vigorous plant well suited to quick cut salad. Makes a large loose head before bolting. Referred to by Vilmorin (1885) as “red celtuce,” implying that its large tender pink bolting stem may have been the heirloom intent of this variety. A recent letter from England confirms that this i... pricing and more

Elf Ears Oak
NEW FOR 2017! This is a big upright oak, ice green with somewhat savoyed leaves that comes from 'Crisp Mint' romaine in the parentage. The leaves have rather fancy "ears," elongated tips that extend from the head, and form heavy strong hearts. The best mildew resistance out of the 5 Elf Ear lines we compared. pricing and more

Emerald Fan
A big glossy golden-green leaf lettuce with good heat tolerance and a striking appearance. Forms a nice heart inside a swirl of fan-shaped leaves.

Fine Speckled Oak
NEW FOR 2017! This comes out of the 'Camo Oak' gene pool, a compact midi oak with a dark red coat of the finest speckling, as if it were spray-painted rather than dipped or brushed with rose and crimson. Forms a nice dense colorful heart at full maturity. pricing and more

Green Salad Bowl
NEW FOR 2016! Lime green with deeply dissected ruffled oaky leaves that can form prodigious heads two feet across. This All American Selection winner from 1952, released by USDA, is a classic from the era of public crop breeding when big and productive meant beautiful. I have not grown this variety to seed since 1982, when it was the first plant I ever collected seed from. I discovered my first accidental lettu... pricing and more

Hyper Red Oak
NEW IN 2011! As dark red as it gets, similar to 'Merlox Red Oak', but with shorter leaves for a more compact head. Top of the downy mildew resistance ratings in 2010, a serious year for this ubiquitous plague of lettuce. A descendant of Hyper Red Rumple, ... pricing and more

InfraRouge Leaf
NEW FOR 2017! By crossing 'Pinot' to 'Mascara' we created many different options--for shades of red color and leaf shape, and seed color for that matter--but this one stood out right away. This is a full sized leaf lettuce with color beyond your average red, deeply purple and bright red simultaneously, with crisped e... pricing and more

Lollo Bozo
This is a Lollo-type with red speckling on the green and blushed leaves, creating a clownish pantaloons effect. A nice variation on the red lollo theme for adding loft to salad mix. Leaves are uniformly salad sized for efficient cutting. pricing and more

Lollo di Vino
We first noticed this compact little “Lollo-type” leaf lettuce within the somewhat variable curls of our original ‘Merlot’ stock seed. The leaves are very dark purple, small and round with the characteristic hyper-crisped frilly margins of the finest Lollo lettuces, but it seems impervious to downy mildew. 125 years ago, these supercurled typ... pricing and more

Mascara
An heirloom standard that all new red oaks must go up against, and it’s hard to beat. High productivity and amazing resistance to stress and disease, and it retains its color well into summer. Dark red oakleaf with extra frills, good flavor, heat tolerant, and slow to bolt. A lot of salad in these heads. pricing and more

Oaky Red Splash
A grand old farm original from my first experiance in lettuce breeding. A sibling to 'Antares', also dating back to 1983, this oakleaf head is very upright with a bronze cast, splashed with irregular red patches. Midribs are often pink, especially when exposed to light by previous harvests. Can form huge heads in fertile ground. Sweeet! pricing and more

Oscarde
When GTF’s Joelene was told that Oscarde (her dead favorite darkest red oak) was set to be terminated from commerce, she took on her first personal quest to save a part of her genetic experience. She used the last of her seed to grow our planting stock, and fended off deer for two years to bring this seed crop to market. Turns out, it’s yet to be discontinued, but Wild Garden is glad to have ... pricing and more

Redder Ruffled Oak
One of our favorite old farm originals from our salad days at Shoulder to Shoulder Farm. We found Redder Ruffled Oak to be our most vigorous grower in cold spring soils, and frost resistant as well. The ruffle comes from a little ‘Lollo Rosso’ in its background, giving its oak leaves frilled edges and a somewhat blistered surface texture. pricing and more

Redina
This is a very popular commercial standard for red leaf of the Grand Rapids type. Similar to ‘Hyper Red,’ but not as dark. Good for full heads or salad mix if you want a medium red. Strong resistance to downy mildew and Sclerotinia stem rot. pricing and more
