Reine Des Glaces Lettuce Seeds
Reine Des Glaces Lettuce is known for its wonderful crisp, sweet leaves.
The French have called this Lettuce the "Queen of Ices" because of the spikes on its outer leaves which resemble a crown.
The Reine des Glaces (Ice Queen) Lettuce has dark green leaves that stay crisp even on hot days and is an ideal summer variety.
This iceberg variety of Lettuce is more than 200 years old and is recently re-gaining popularity in home gardening due to its resistance to bolting and excellent flavor and texture. |
