Lettuce, Brune Percherone

New for 2012 An apple green butterhead tinged with bronze pink. Early, big, heavy heads grow well in difficult conditions and are heat resistant. An old variety known in Europe since around 1907. Most recently preserved from extinction by the seed saving groups: Kokopelli in France, and Pro Specie Rara in Switzerland. We found this variety with Pro Specie Rara during our 2007 Seed Ambassadors trip.
