Product Details

The beauty of 'Ezrilla' is that the leaves grow particularly uniform in short heads with little core. With one cut above the base, same-sized greens fall away for easy salad prep. It is slow to bolt meaning a long harvest, with disease resistance to downy mildew, lettuce leaf aphid, lettuce die-back, and lettuce mosaic virus. Seeds may be pelletized with an organic coating for easy handling.

    I like to grow curly endive (aka frisee) in order to add texture to my salads. I thought Ezrilla lettuce looked similar to endive so I gave it a shot for the first time in my fall/winter garden. I planted these seeds in the Atlanta area on Sept 15 and 6 weeks later I am harvesting for salads. I did not get 100% germination but I will try this seed again in the spring to see if germination improves.

    Really impressed with this lettuce! I bought the seeds as a novelty but I will absolutely be growing these as a staple in my garden from now on. The leaves are a fun, frilly serrated texture with a delicate crispness and mild sweet flavor. You could harvest the entire head at once, but I found it best to just pull the leaves I needed and let the plants continue on. They add a lot of interest to salads and look almost ornamental in the veg patch. They mature quite quickly and handle temperature swings very well. My garden is in Central TX where our fall and winter can swing from 80F to 40F in 24 hours, and these are still going strong.
