Robust enough to hold up to direct heat. Classic Caesar salad lettuce.
Flavour
Crunchy with a slightly bitter, robust flavour that holds up well against strong dressings and smoky notes.
In the kitchen
Ideal for grilling whole or halved, the sturdy leaves char nicely without wilting, adding a smoky depth to classic Caesar salads or as a fresh side on the BBQ.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture; robust against bolting but keep an eye on pests like slugs in warmer months.
