Lettuce Butterhead Marvel of Four Seasons is a distinguished French heirloom dating to the 1800s, representing centuries of careful cultivation in European kitchen gardens. This exceptional variety produces medium to large heads composed of striking rosettes featuring bronze, gold, red, and green-toned leaves that create remarkable visual appeal in both garden and on the plate. The multicolored foliage indicates robust anthocyanin production, contributing both ornamental beauty and enhanced nutritional density compared to conventional green lettuces. The nomenclature "Marvel of Four Seasons" reflects this variety's exceptional climate adaptability and year-round growing potential. Unlike heat-sensitive lettuces that bolt rapidly in warm conditions or cold-sensitive varieties that struggle in cool seasons, Marvel of Four Seasons thrives across diverse climatic conditions and temperature ranges. This vigorous, reliable performance makes it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking consistent harvests throughout extended growing seasons, from spring through fall and into early winter in temperate zones. The crisp texture persists throughout all growth stages, from tender baby leaves to full-sized mature heads, providing flexibility in harvest timing based on culinary preferences. The buttery, mild flavor develops fully in mature heads while maintaining delicate tenderness in younger leaves. This dual-purpose capability allows successive harvesting strategies or complete head removal, maximizing productivity from limited garden space. Remarkably rapid maturation occurs in approximately 30 days from transplanting, enabling multiple succession plantings within a single growing season. Each packet contains 50 non-GMO seeds with an 80% or better germination rate. David's Garden Seeds® sources these premium heirloom seeds through sustainable practices and packages them in environmentally friendly, fully reusable and recyclable materials that honor both seed heritage and ecological responsibility.
