These heads of lettuce are an excellent example of a red variety, as they have a compact and upright shape while still putting on a good amount of weight. The purplish coloration at the leaf tips contrasts beautifully with the deep, yet bright green color at the base. The semi-savoy and scalloped leaves add to their nice texture and appearance.
