Lettuce 'Parris Island'

Provides good flavor and texture to salad mix. Dark green leaves. Seed densely for narrower petioles and leaves. Flavourful pale centres are surrounded by thick green outer leaves on enormous upright plants. The standard green romaine for baby leaf. Parris Island can be planted close together for a long harvest of little leaves for gourmet salads. Given space and time to grow to full size, Parris Island forms heads up to 12" tall, but even at this crazy size, the leaves are tender and succulent, with mild flavour.
