Heads of Cherokee lettuce, freshly harvested

Summer Crisp Lettuce (Batavia) Seeds

Summer crisp, or Batavian, lettuces combine the crunch of iceberg with the open habit of leaf lettuce. They're among the most heat-tolerant lettuces, slow to bolt and to turn bitter. Cherokee is a deep red, Magenta has red-tinged leaves, Reno is green, and Marilisa forms a big, full head. Many carry resistance to downy mildew and lettuce mosaic virus. Fusion has a glossy green head. Most are pelleted or organic.
