Every year this lettuce attracts more attention and comments than just about anything else we grow on the farm, and we grow lots of unusual varieties.  Hands down the reddest of the red leaf varieties available on the market, a deep burgundy from the tip of the leaf to the base of the stem.  Destined to become a modern classic, this variety was brought over from Holland int he 80's as "Galactic" to be renamed "Merlot" by Sheperd Ogden of Sheperd's seeds.  Medium sized somewhat loose heads are very slow to bolt. Stunning ina salad mix and as full sized heads, Merlot will make you chuckle at what they call "redleaf" at the supermarket!
