Appearance: Features a tall, tightly folded, upright head growing 10 to 12 inches tall. The outer leaves are deeply dark green and crinkled, shielding a crisp, creamy white, and pale-yellow inner core.

Flavor & Uses: Are highlighted by a refreshing, juicy crunch and a mild, sweet taste with no trace of bitterness. It is highly nutritious and serves as the definitive standard for classic Caesar salads, fresh wraps, taco toppings, or lightly grilled romaine wedges.

Growth Habit: Is an upright, vase-shaped head that takes up minimal horizontal space in the garden. It is highly adaptable and grows beautifully in traditional rows, intensive raised beds, or patio containers.

Growing Notes: Sow directly in early spring once soil is workable, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant in full sun to partial afternoon shade in loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Keep moisture consistent for crisp leaves and harvest outer leaves early or the full head at maturity.
