Lettuce, George Richardson (Organic)
Lactuca sativa. Bronze Romaine. 30 days baby; 65 full.
This heritage lettuce from the United Kingdom is similar in flavor profile to other bronze romaines, which as a group are noticeably sweeter than other lettuce types. George Richardson has special bragging rights, though – in the 2009 evaluations done by Garden Organic / Heritage Seed Library, this family heirloom lettuce earned the title of the “best performing” heirloom. Loose heads are winter hardy and slow to bolt. Good field resistance to downy mildew. Given to the Seed Ambassadors Project by the Heritage Seed Library in England. It was donated to them by the late Mr. Richardson’s wife, who said it had been in the family for at least 60 years.

Where did you grow this variety? California
Bronze romaines are hard to find, but Adaptive Seeds offers several varieties. They’re sweet, crunchy, and delicious. In our San Francisco Bay Area gardens, George Richardson stood out as the best performer. Clients want us to plant it every year.
