Parris Island Romaine has established itself as a cornerstone variety in serious gardeners' collections, earning widespread recognition through decades of reliable performance and consistent quality. This non-GMO heirloom produces substantial 10-12 inch heads featuring characteristically savoyed leaves with an attractive creamy white heart that develops as the plant matures. The refined appearance and balanced flavor make it equally suitable for fresh market presentation and home kitchen use. This variety demonstrates multiple disease resistance traits that distinguish it from less resilient romaine types. Tipburn resistance—a common challenge in romaine cultivation—is a significant practical advantage, particularly in variable growing conditions. Mosaic virus tolerance further enhances reliability, while the medium-to-slow bolting tendency extends your harvest window considerably, allowing extended picking periods before plants transition to flowering. Parris Island requires approximately 72 days to reach full maturity, providing ample time for planning succession plantings and managing garden rotations strategically. The robust germination rate of approximately 80% or better ensures dependable seed establishment when properly sown. Our commitment to sustainability encompasses every aspect of this product—from non-GMO seed genetics to environmentally responsible, fully recyclable packaging that reflects our dedication to ecological stewardship. With 50 seeds per packet, you'll have sufficient quantity for multiple plantings, experimental growing techniques, and season-long harvests of this proven, versatile romaine variety.
