Description
Item Details From Seed Savers:
This large, beautiful crisphead lettuce is versatile, delivering very crisp, juicy, and tasty leaves that excel in everything from salads to (yes!) soups.
Plants reach 8-10″ tall and 16-18″ wide, producing firm, uniform heads and green-gray leaves with highly toothed margins.
Lettuce lovers can thank the Kovacs family for this remarkable variety, which the family has stewarded for at least 120 years. Donor James Kovacs of Fisherville, Kentucky, noted that his grandfather (John Kovacs) brought this seed with him when he emigrated from Hungary to Pennsylvania in 1905. It’s the main ingredient in a family soup recipe that also contains sautéed onion and celery in a brown roux, with water or chicken broth, milk or half-and-half, and salt and pepper. See the recipe tab for the full recipe.
