Pelleted Seed Lettuce Romaine Truchas is a distinctive dark red mini romaine that brings both visual appeal and practical performance to your garden. This compact variety produces deep burgundy heads averaging 6 to 8 inches in height with excellent fill and density, making it perfect for fresh market bunching or premium salad mixes. The striking dark red coloration persists even in northern growing regions, setting it apart from standard green romaines. Truchas demonstrates impressive disease resistance, protecting your crop against multiple downy mildew races (EU 16–26, 28–37, US 5–9), Lettuce Mosaic Virus, and Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus—critical advantages for maintaining healthy, productive plants throughout the season.
