Bronze Arrow

A beautiful, productive Californian heirloom, popular in the USA but once almost unknown here. A large, non-hearting lettuce; the attractive, arrowhead-shaped leaves have a distinctive bronze tinge and mild flavour. Drought and cold hardy, so ideal for autumn sowing and overwintering. It's also less popular with slugs. The merits of this variety have been recognised by commercial seed companies and it's now included on the UK National List under its synonym Bronze Beauty. Although now considered safe, we'll continue to make it available to members for as long as our stocks last.
