2712BO Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce OG (42 days) Open-pollinated. The earliest and most popular looseleaf variety. “One of our absolute favorites for early season production with heads up to 16" diameter,” says New York State market lettuce grower Lisa Bloodnick. Large loose crumpled juicy light-green leaves slightly ruffled and blistered. Inner leaves tender and well blanched. Does not stand heat well; sow as early as the ground can be worked. Probably originally from England circa 1850, this heirloom was introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. of New York around 1875. CCOF-certified.  |
