Introduce a burst of color to your garden and taste to your salads with the Marvel of 4 Seasons Lettuce, popularly known as Merveille de Quatre Saisons. An heirloom garden variety since the 1800s in France, this lettuce offers a pleasing blend of sweet, succulent and buttery tender leaves that form an eye-catching crinkly rosette resembling a radiant flower. The leaves start green at the base, transitioning to a stunning cranberry-red hue at the top.
With a size of 8-12" in diameter, the rosette is optimal for large containers. The Marvel of Four Seasons stands out not just for its intriguing visual attraction but also for its versatility for cultivation in all seasons. Thriving in cooler temperatures, it can be sown 3-4 weeks before the last spring frost, then replanted every 3 weeks until late spring. You can look forward to a repeat harvest in fall.
Be it the bronze, gold, red, or green leaves; every part of this lettuce boasts a robust shape that's hardy to 20°F when provided with suitable protection. A bonus is its heat resistance - keep it moist and shaded, and it won't turn bitter. This all-around fantastic lettuce is so marvelous in appearance and flavor, you might find it hard to pick! Guard it from bolting in heat to enjoy an abundant output.
