Description
The 'Lollo Rosso' is a leaf salad with strongly crinkled leaves that are reddish‑brown at the edges, resembling a coral. It does not form a head but a loose rosette. The flavor is mild with a slight bitter note, and its color and texture add vibrancy to any salad bowl.
Care instructions
Plant in loose, nutrient‑rich soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot and keep consistently moist. Harvest outer leaves continuously; the rosette will regrow over weeks and develop a deeper red color in sunny locations. Sow a new set every three weeks to maintain a colorful green supply throughout the summer.
