The reddest red for striking salads, sandwiches, garnish, and baby mix. The rumpled and frilled texture means that it holds salad dressing better than flat leaves, and the leaves don't stick together, staying light and mixable. Now a classic, bred some years ago by Frank Morton for good flavor, disease resistance, and resistance to both heat and cold. Rot and downy mildew resistant. OSSI-pledged open source variety, bred and grown by Frank Morton.
The Open Source Seed Initiative exists so that breeders who originate new varieties can protect them from exploitation and patenting by corporations. It means that the breeder has freely given up patent rights in order to keep the variety in the public domain forever. The OSSI pledge reads: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI-pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives, by patents or other means, and to include this pledge in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives."
