Salad Greens – Truchas

Lactuca sativa

(Salad Greens)

Variety: Truchas, Romaine

45-55 Days to Mature

From Territorial: Truchas is the most strikingly red, smaller statured romaine type we've trialed. These breathtaking plants have intense crimson leaves with brilliantly contrasting green ribs and veins. The allure doesn't stop at the plants' appearance. A delight to eat, Truchas is very refined with melt-in-your-mouth texture and utterly bitter-free flavor. The cylindrical plants are upright, growing to 12 inches wide and 7 inches tall with razor-smooth leaves.

First purchased in November 2025 for the 2026 growing season.
