Easy to grow, show-stopping heirloom lettuce varieties
that are hardy and pest resistant.
These are my favorite varieties of lettuce that I keep going back to year after year in my Newfoundland garden. They are great for short seasons, cold climates,are naturally insect resistant, have great flavor and are gorgeous in the garden and on a plate.
Crisp Mint Lettuce
Forellenschluss
Paris Island Cos
Red Oak Leaf
50 days. This stunning dark red oakleaf lettuce can be eaten as individual leaves or will form large, dense glossy heads beautiful in salads. This versatile variety has a mild flavor, bold color and is exceptionally insect and mildew resistant.
Yugoslavian Red
I also like to grow my lettuce with the red varieties on the outer perimeter and lighter greens toward the middle, (as seen in the video below). This acts as an extra insect deterrent as insects are less attracted to the darker varieties of lettuce.
