Salanova Red Gem

Salanova lettuce was developed by the Dutch vegetable seed company, Rijk Zwaan. The eight different Salanova lettuce varieties started as two plants, with distinctly different leaves and growth patterns, found in a field during the early 1990’s. Red Gem is attractively gorgeous with deep red leaves in an exceptional head. Compared to other Salanova varieties Red Gem is more compact and upright with sturdier leaves that are easier to handle and have a longer shelf life. Each unit is one head of lettuce.
