Lettuce Summer Crisp De Russie is a beautifully old‑world leaf lettuce with character you can spot from across the garden. The leaves come lightly bronzed and dusted with purplish‑red speckles, forming vivid olive‑green heads that always look freshly washed. The texture is everything you want in a salad green — crisp, crunchy, and full of life.

This variety stays slow to bolt and handles cold weather with ease, making it a dependable choice for early spring or fall plantings. If you’re looking for a hardy lettuce that brings both flavor and charm to the garden, De Russie delivers.
