Reine des Glaces

The name means ‘Queen of the Ices’ and it is a fantastic crisphead – green tightly wrapped iceberg heads, with incredibly frilly & toothed leaves. It’s a real attention getter in the garden every summer. 

About 200 years old, this strain has recently been reselected for home gardeners, and the seed we have is really vigorous. Fantastic feedback from all over the country, everyone seems to want it in increasing numbers every year.

Toothed iceberg, incredible, fantastic lettuce. Can also be grown as a Winter Lettuce, the picture here shows it unearthed from the snow where it was growing high in the Pyrenees.
