Romaine Rouge d'Hiver is an esteemed French heirloom lettuce distinguished by its striking medium-red tinged foliage and exceptional flavor complexity. This organic, non-GMO variety produces upright heads with leaves that develop deeper coloration as temperatures decline, making it both visually distinctive and culinary superior. The robust flavor profile and tender leaf texture make it a preferred choice for discerning gardeners seeking heritage varieties with genuine culinary merit. Cold tolerance is a defining characteristic of Rouge d'Hiver, enabling reliable production throughout autumn and early winter months when most lettuce varieties falter. The variety demonstrates impressive regrowth capacity, allowing successive harvests from established plants and extending your productive season considerably. Conversely, this variety performs best when temperatures remain moderate, as excessive heat can compromise leaf quality and accelerate bolting. Expect mature, harvestable heads in approximately 28 days under favorable conditions, providing relatively quick returns on your gardening investment. The organically grown seeds carry a germination rate of approximately 70% or better, ensuring reliable establishment when properly sown. Our commitment to sustainability extends throughout the entire product—from non-GMO seed genetics to environmentally responsible, recyclable packaging that minimizes ecological impact. With 50 seeds per packet, you'll have ample opportunity to experience this distinguished heirloom variety across multiple growing seasons.
