Bring color, flavor, and nutrition to your garden with Red Romaine Lettuce Seeds (Lactuca sativa). This heirloom Cos-type lettuce forms upright heads of sturdy, crisp leaves with a distinctive burgundy-red hue that fades to pale green or yellow at the heart. The contrast of colors and flavors—sweet with a hint of mild bitterness—makes Red Romaine an outstanding choice for both salad mixes and standalone dishes.
Known for its hardy growth and adaptability, Red Romaine performs beautifully in diverse conditions, from cool spring gardens to controlled indoor and hydroponic systems. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, producing dense, upright heads that are as decorative as they are delicious.

Why Gardeners Love Red Romaine Lettuce:
