Deer Tongue Amish Lettuce

Deer Tongue Amish Lettuce is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety that was a staple among Pioneer families. This hardy variety has elongated leaves, somewhat triangular in shape, that grow outward and upward. Deer Tongue Lettuce can be a single or multiple harvest crop. Mature plants will form loose heads for single cut harvests. Individual leaves may also be harvested to extend the harvest window. Deer Tongue Amish Lettuce has bright green leaves. Leaves have a crisp texture with a rich flavor. This is a great variety for salads or wraps. Plants are vigorous and heat-tolerant and will perform well in the late spring/early summer window.
