We sell this lettuce under its translated name, but it was originally called Froellenschluss. It also goes by the name of Freckles. Its origins have been traced back to Germany in1793. The leaves are pale to medium green with little red blotches scattered about. The leaves are very tender with an open vase shaped habit. It’s often used in baby lettuce mixes, but when picked at maturity, the leaves stay soft with a heart more like a butterhead than a romaine. It has some tolerance to warm weather germination, as well as to warm weather in general.
