Sanguine Ameliore or Strawberry Cabbage Lettuce

This unique 19th century French heirloom was introduced to America by C.C. Morse in 1906 under the name “Strawberry Cabbage Lettuce.” The small cabbage or butter-head type plants are quite charming with green leaves that are splashed in scarlet-red as if a red rain fell upon them, glistening and beautiful. Leaves are tender, mild and of a high quality; yummy!
