Medium sized, very compact oak leaf lettuce Bijella has a red brown colour with a fresh green heart. Medium-fast development time. For planting in spring and autumn. Relatively upright growth and therefore less susceptible to rot on the underside. Keeps well on the field and has an aromatic, slightly sweet taste.
