Skyphos Red Butterhead Lettuce

Description
Skyphos red butterhead lettuce is one of our absolute favorite lettuces to grow and to eat!  The large heads are bright green towards the center and a reddish purple hue towards the tips. The centers of these tender heads develop a buttery and silky smooth texture perfect for lettuce wraps or cobb salads. Heat tolerant and widely adapted.
