- Oakleaf Lettuce is a beautiful, frilly loose-leaf variety that thrives in both heat and cold. Its tender green leaves form lush rosettes, resisting bitterness and offering a cut-and-come-again harvest. Quick-growing and compact, it reaches harvest size in six weeks. Royal Oakleaf is also heat-tolerant, bolting slower than other varieties, though seeds require cool temperatures to germinate. Originally from Egypt, this variety was first listed in 1771
- Tasting note: Mellow & nutty

About Sow Delicious
In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious! She came up with the idea for the ‘Slab of Seed’ which might look like a slab of chocolate, but is made from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed – the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO. The slabs are handmade in a unique little chocolate factory in the heart of Eden in The Garden Route.
