Lettuce – Really Red Deer Tongue (Organic)

£1.80£3.90

Very dark red loose-leaf variety, with striking arrow-shaped leaves. This is definitely one of our favourite varieties of lettuce. It is productive and easy to harvest as well as being crunchy and extremely tasty. It adds a real depth of colour to any salad with leaves that are almost black!
