Lettuce Butterhead Adriana delivers exceptional performance in challenging growing conditions, making it an ideal choice for gardeners in warm climates or regions prone to disease pressure. This exclusive heirloom variety produces large, dense heads with deep green coloring and outstanding flavor complexity that rivals premium market varieties. Bred by the same expert behind the acclaimed Ermosa cultivar, Adriana combines proven genetics with robust disease resistance, including strong protection against Downy Mildew (EU races 16, 21, 23) and intermediate resistance to Lettuce Mosaic Virus. The variety also demonstrates excellent tipburn tolerance, reducing crop loss from physiological disorders common in heat-stressed plants. Reaching maturity in approximately 45 days, Adriana offers reliable, consistent harvests even when environmental stress would compromise lesser varieties. As a non-GMO, heirloom seed, you can save seeds from your best plants to maintain genetic integrity across seasons. Whether you're managing a commercial micro-greens operation, running a CSA, or simply seeking a heat-resilient butterhead for home production, Adriana's combination of disease resistance, flavor quality, and heat tolerance makes it a dependable workhorse variety that performs when it matters most.
