Lettuce Summer Crisp Fusion Purple represents a refined advancement in heat-tolerant lettuce breeding, combining exceptional summer performance with distinctive purple-tinged foliage that adds visual sophistication to garden and plate alike. This open-pollinated variety produces characteristically open heads with uniformly frilled leaves that create an elegant, ornamental appearance while delivering the substantial yields serious gardeners demand. The thick ribs and robust core structure provide structural integrity that supports consistent productivity even under challenging warm-season conditions. Fusion Purple's heat tolerance and slow bolting characteristics make it indispensable for summer cultivation when most traditional lettuce varieties falter. The variety's compact, slightly shorter growth habit compared to the original Fusion type maximizes space efficiency while maintaining the productive capacity that defines this lineage. The crunchy texture and substantial leaf mass ensure satisfying culinary performance throughout the extended harvest window that slow bolting provides. This variety demonstrates notable stress tolerance, performing reliably when environmental conditions challenge plant development. Resistance to Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus provides additional protection against viral challenges that can compromise summer crops. The combination of disease resistance, heat tolerance, and consistent productivity makes Fusion Purple exceptionally valuable for regions with extended warm seasons or for gardeners seeking year-round lettuce availability. Expect mature, harvestable heads in approximately 50 days under favorable conditions, enabling efficient succession planting and continuous harvest management. The robust germination rate of 80% or higher ensures dependable seed establishment. With 50 seeds per packet, open-pollinated genetics enabling seed saving, and our commitment to sustainable, non-GMO cultivation and environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging, Fusion Purple offers comprehensive value for discerning gardeners seeking reliable summer lettuce production.
