It's hard not to love this easy-to-grow lettuce. The stunning bright green leaves are dusted with almost iridescent bronze tips. "Australe" reminds us of a cross between a traditional butterhead due to its buttery texture and a mini romaine because of its upright growing habit. Harvest as baby greens around 21 days or as a full head at 55 days.

Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 to 6 weeks before your average first fall frost date. Mild Climates: Sow in fall and winter for cool-season harvests.
