Plato II
Such a Romaine. Why did Seminis let this go? We’ll ask our agents, but meanwhile, we’ll thank New York farmer Sandy Arnold for passing us the remnants of her packet to get this under way again. A real standout in our lettuce disease trials, resisting tipb... pricing and more

Outredgeous
This variety is so red that botany students didn’t recognize it as lettuce when they saw it in our breeding nursery back in ‘98, though a crowd did gather to discuss what it might be. A nice upright cut salad variety, forms a loose romaine head at maturit... pricing and more
