Lettuce 'Bronze Arrow'

Bronze Arrow is a fantastic oakleaf lettuce with bronze-red and green leaves. It retains its sweetness in hot weather longer than most other lettuces. We obtained the original seeds from John Jeavons, the famous teacher of biointensive farming.

John Jeavons says that Bronze Arrow is "one of the best lettuces in the world." I think so too; it does well in all sorts of weather and is slow to bolt.
