You will not be disappointed with Pirat. Soft, buttery hearts are surrounded by elegant burgundy tipped leaves. It’s a welcome addition to any salad with its sweet, mild flavor and a beautiful appearance. Resistance to downy mildew and bacterial rot make this butterhead a great choice for our climate. The thinnings make a great baby lettuce, but be sure to let Pirat grow to full size for the optimum lettuce experience. This open-pollinated, German variety descends from Merveille des Quatre Saisons (Marvel of the Four Seasons), but is much more bolt resistant. (55 days)
