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

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

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

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

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, Emerald Oak, and... pricing and more

Fine Speckled Oak
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

This is a big upright oak, ice green with somewhat savoyed leaves that comes from 'Crisp Mint' romaine in the parentage.
