Description

The Italian heirloom of ruffled elegance. ‘Lollo Rossa’ forms compact, frilly rosettes of red-bronze leaves that deepen in color with cool weather. The flavor is mildly sweet and slightly nutty, with tender texture and striking presentation.

Plants grow 8–10 inches across and thrive in cool conditions, ideal for borders or mixed greens. The deeply curled leaves resist wilting and add texture to any salad.

A traditional variety from Italy’s northern regions, ‘Lollo Rossa’ brings both gourmet flavor and ornamental beauty to the kitchen garden.
