Everwilde Farms - 500 Organic Tango Leaf Lettuce Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

Tango grows tight, upright rosettes of frilly dark green leaves. An excellent lettuce for baby leaf and salad mix. Very tender and rich in vitamins. Similar in appearance to endive, but with a milder tangy taste. The baby leaf is ready in 28 days and full-sized leaves in about 40 days. Wild lettuce, from which modern lettuce is derived, originated in Asia Minor. The ancient historian Herodotus records its presence on the tables of 6th century Persian kings, and throughout the following centuries it became a popular crop all over Europe. Columbus brought it with him to the New World, starting its spread over the North American continent. Without a doubt, lettuce now holds a place in nearly every garden on the globe.
