Two Star
Crisp, cool, and vividly fresh from the first harvest—Two Star loose-leaf lettuce forms tender, ruffled leaves with a bright, garden-sweet flavor and a delicate crunch that lingers. The foliage is richly textured, with frilly edges and an inviting, light-green glow that looks as good as it tastes. Grow Two Star for generous, repeat harvests in salads and fresh platters, or let its gentle character shine in quick tosses and leafy garnishes.
