Magenta Lettuce

Magenta Lettuce is a striking Batavian summer crisp variety featuring crunchy, frilly, red-tinged outer leaves that wrap around a dense, bright green heart. Ready to harvest in just 50 days, this open-pollinated lettuce boasts exceptional heat tolerance, holding well without bolting or turning bitter. It stands up to heavy rain with strong resistance to tip burn, bottom rot, downy mildew, and lettuce mosaic virus. Whether picked leaf-by-leaf or harvested as a full, crisp head, its sweet flavor and satisfying crunch make it ideal for summer salads, smoothies, or fresh lettuce wraps.
