Description
Oakleaf lettuce is a loose, leaf salad with soft, crinkled leaves that resemble oak bark. It comes in green and a warm reddish‑brown variety. Its nutty‑mild flavor and delicate texture make it an easy, long‑standing garden companion, as it does not form a tight head and can be harvested for weeks.
Care instructions
Plant or sow in loose, humus‑rich soil and keep it evenly moist to maintain tender leaves. Harvest outer leaves continuously from the outside in, allowing the heart to regrow and produce new leaves for many weeks. Sow a small batch every three weeks to maintain a steady supply until October.
