(45 days) Open pollinated. Burpee’s well-known variety, a cross between a compact butterhead type and large looseleaf varieties was thirteen years in the making and the first variety patented under the 1970 Plant Variety Protection Act. Its PVP has long since expired. This shiny crinkly looseleaf with fringed leaf margins is firm and crunchy in salads. Slow to bolt, but starts to get tough in the centers. We’re putting this great classic back on the plate.
