Lolla Rosa Red
Lettuce Seed
An ideal baby leaf variety providing mild flavor and excellent loft, and color to salad mixes. Open heads are compact, and slower to bolt than other lettuces. Classic red/green frilly loose leaf. Great taste, holds well in summer heat. Leaves are light green at bottom, red at top. Harvest outer leaves or cut entire plant. Holds well in fall and will take hard freezes; survives well all winter in the unheated greenhouse.

Edit: They fixed the problem! Great customer service will be making all my future seed purchases here. :)
Went to go checkout online, I only ordered a few seeds and it says my shipping is going to be $50?! For the basic shipment. I live in ohio where berlin seed is and only a few hours away that just seems awfully expensive for seed shipment...

Great place! The seed variety is great
Planted all 10 seeds but only 5 germinated. It was strange summer weather so I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'm in zone 6 outside of St Louis. However, that being said, this was the absolute BEST melon ever. So sweet...everyone agreed on that. No disease at all. Amazing. Harvested a total 41 melons. Planted them May 18th. They germinated May 24th. Harvested the first group of 7 from Aug1st-6th. They all weighed over 6lbs. I continued harvesting through Oct 22nd. They started getting smaller throughout the growing season. The largest 6.50lbs. The smallest 2.31. Will definitely plant again.
