Lotta
Lotta is a green, loose headed lettuce with smooth, somewhat fine leaves. Particularly resistant to downy mildew. Good for cutting, sealed underside. Bolt resistant, for the entire growing season. Aromatic, slightly bitter-sweet taste. Also available in pelleted form (primed).
Recommended alternative for butterhead lettuces Rolando [G364], Wunder von Stuttgart [G366A] and Neckarriesen [G367] which have been discontinued from our range.
