55 Days to maturity. Lactuca sativa. Organic Merlot Lettuce Vegetable Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, organic, heirloom, loose-leaf lettuce. Merlot Lettuce is a particularly striking variety that stands out in any garden with its deep red, almost burgundy leaves with glossy texture and wave-like ruffle edges. It's not just visually appealing but is also renowned for its robust flavor that brings a unique, slightly nutty, and mildly sweet taste to salads and other dishes. Much like a fine Merlot wine, this variety can add complexity and aesthetic value to your garden and plate. It is ideal for a cut-and-come-again culture. ~26,612 seeds/oz.
