Growing Information
Growing Amish Deer Tongue Lettuce
An ages-old, classic heirloom variety that has been around for over 100 years! Popular amongst gardeners in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Rich in Vitamin A, medium green long, triangular-shaped, leaves are ideal for baby salad greens. Rather sharp flavor, slow to bolt and reliable. Performs well as a cut-and-come-again type, where leaves can be harvested and allowed to re-grow again and again. Vigorous, compact plants form loose, upright heads that are quite heat tolerant. Widely adaptable. Looseleaf type.
