A favorite among gardeners who prize beauty as well as flavor, Red Sails received an All-America Winner when it was introduced in 1985 and has never looked back! A most attractive open-pollinated, loose-leaf lettuce with purplish red-splashed leaves, Red Sails is slow to become bitter or bolt, even in heat. A great source of rich color for the salad bowl, they are high-quality eating, with a soft texture and buttery flavor that appeals to all ages. (49 days)
