Pelleted Seeds Lettuce Loose Leaf New Red Fire is a heat-tolerant loose-leaf variety engineered for extended harvest seasons and superior performance in warm growing conditions where conventional lettuces rapidly bolt and deteriorate. This large, dramatically ruffled loose-leaf lettuce features striking bicolor foliage with green bases transitioning to deep dark red leaf edges, creating remarkable visual appeal in both garden and culinary presentations. The distinctive coloration indicates robust anthocyanin production, contributing enhanced nutritional density and antioxidant content compared to standard green lettuces. The exceptional bolt resistance of New Red Fire represents a defining characteristic that distinguishes it from most loose-leaf varieties. This remarkable trait extends the productive harvest window significantly, allowing gardeners to maintain tender, flavorful leaves throughout extended warm seasons when heat-sensitive lettuces quickly transition to flowering and become bitter. The ability to harvest continuously over prolonged periods maximizes productivity and provides consistent fresh greens for extended time frames, reducing the need for frequent succession plantings. The substantial head size develops naturally without excessive density, maintaining the tender texture and delicate eating quality that characterizes premium loose-leaf lettuce. The mild, slightly sweet flavor profile with subtle complexity appeals to diverse palates and culinary applications, from fresh salads to composed plates and garnish preparations. The large ruffled leaves provide excellent visual presentation and textural contrast in finished dishes. Disease resistance further enhances the reliability of New Red Fire, reducing pressure from common lettuce pathogens and minimizing crop loss from fungal or bacterial infections. This inherent disease tolerance reduces the need for chemical interventions and supports organic growing practices. Expect mature, harvestable leaves in approximately 60 days from transplanting. Each packet contains non-GMO seeds with an 80% or better germination rate. David's Garden Seeds® packages these premium seeds in sustainable, environmentally friendly materials that are fully reusable and recyclable.
